What Angels of America, the original MAX series, is about
Angels in America is a miniseries set in the 1980s in New York City, during the AIDS crisis. The plot focuses on two LGBT couples and their personal and social struggles. On the one hand, we have Prior Walter, who reveals to his lover Lou that he has AIDS, leading Lou to leave the relationship due to emotional pressure. In parallel, the story of Joe Pitt, a Mormon and Republican lawyer who is homosexual but has not come out of the closet, is intertwined with that of Roy Cohn, another undeclared homosexual who is diagnosed with AIDS.
The series, based on the works of Tony Kushner, explores political and ethical issues, showing how the characters cling to hope and, in some cases, divine interventions. The narrative is a profound reflection of human desperation and bravery in the face of a devastating public health crisis.
