Gli orrori di Dolores Roach

I had no clue what I was walking into, but saw Justina Machado and gave it a shot. Without giving away too much, I will say the casting was on point and featured a slew of enjoyable characters that threaded in and out of the storyline. I usually don't love omnipresent narration, but in this case it works and gives us some insight into Delores' journey in self discovery and acceptance along with a few laughs. I also liked that it served up some pretty light commentary on gentrification and the racial inequities in the cannabis industry. It ended nicely with what could be a satisfactory and fun wrap on the story, but also could be used as a cliffhanger for some additional storytelling, similar to OMITB, if they can serve it in just the right way.

It's not going to be for everybody, but if you have a sense of humor, like campy horror a la Scream Queens, can handle the suspense and gore of American Horror Story, and enjoy Half-Baked stoner comedy then buckle up and push through for an uncomfortably hilarious treat full of amazingly entertaining characters.

The Horror of Dolores Roach The Amazon Prime Video series consists of 8 episodes an unjust imprisonment of 16 years. Dolores Roche (played by Justina Machado) returns to Washington Heights, which has now become a neighborhood where the wealthy take over the area. Dolores reunites with Luis, an old friend who enjoys smoking marijuana. Luis provides Dolores with shelter and a job as a masseuse in the underground basement of his empanada shop. As things quickly spiral out of control and danger approaches, Dolores, the "Wonder Hand," must resort to extreme measures to survive.

Overall, this is a compelling and intense short series that effectively portrays various aspects such as drama, murder, love, and the psychological effects of societal oppression. It successfully captures the audience's attention and provides a unique and different experience. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for something intriguing and out of the ordinary.

I absolutely loved this!such a brilliant dark comedy!watched all episodes over 2 evenings. So refreshingly different and beautifully insane!watch u won't be disappointed.justina is such a amazing actress ive watched her in many many things my favourite (before this was one day at a time)this kept me hooked from start to finish,is so unbelievable it almost makes it easy to believe if that makes sense lol. I loved every single character throughout the series Totally awesome cast!pray they make a season 2 as I've never watched anything like this before, kinda wish I never watched it so fast almost sad season is over!

At first I didn't think this was going to be much of anything, just the basic corny comedy, boy was I wrong!

This has turned out to be the best dark comedy, horror I've watched in a couple of years! The tension never stops once it gets going, I've been finding myself laughing out loud every other moment, then I'm stressing because I don't know what's going to happen next, and man does something wild and crazy happens next!

And what's rewarding is this time I didn't check to see how many episodes this had, so when another one rolled around I couldn't be any happier, and also what makes this a great binge watch is it's short 30 minutes episodes.

Each actor brilliantly played their parts!

But don't get me wrong, it's not all laughs, this is a horror, so be prepared!

This dark comedy is really worth watching. It's not too horror scary. The casting is spot on, not one character out of step with the story. The comedic and the darker scenes flow into each other effortlessly with surprising twists hitting the scene at intervals. The plot is a bit of a modern take on Sweeney Todd, with Dolores Roach / Justina Machado as the lead. She's one of my favorite actresses and here she really gets to shine. It is a horror story though, so not all laughs. It has relatively short episodes, about 30 minutes. Which makes it perfect for both binging or a paced viewing. La Empanada Loca might be a nod to Los Pollos Hermanos. Dolores gets out of prison after 26 years on a drug charge, and the series also shows how difficult it is to start again. I hope to see more of this!
