The Horror of Dolores Roach

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!

I didn't know much about this going in, but happy I gave it a chance because it was a FUN ride!

Simply, it's a modern day version of Sweeney Todd taking place in Washington Heights (right above Harlem). I thought there was a skilled blend of suspense and humor. Characters pull you in right away and the story telling is super captivating. In fact, I was so into the story, I didn't even play games on my phone while I watched...that's about the highest compliment I can give to any show.

My suggestion is to not read too much going in or over analyze whether or not to watch. Just do it. Have fun! You'll be rewarded with a thrilling limited series that I definitely recommend.

Okay, maybe the pun was a bit intentional. In my defense, it does still ring true!

First, I have to say that Justina Machado is one of the greatest actors out there and I think she doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves. I'm a little disappointed in the rating, because I think this is one heck of a story and it's told by one heck of a storyteller.

This plot is completely unhinged and I absolutely love it! It's both bizarrely completely unbelievable, but also totally gets you on board. Very "Dexter-esque" but a bit more lighthearted. Also, I do have to give credit to the role of Luis as well. Just give it a try, I think when enough people get into it it'll be a big hit.

Uummmmm yummy empanadas! And very locas! I also make them at home.

What a wonderful surprise! Very original and creative, fun and horrifying series! A terrifying black comedy!

I must admit that it took me a bit to get fully into the series, but after a short time I already understood what was going on. I loved the combination of stories, first the empanada shop and then the masseuse, Magic Hands. It is one of those stories in which the variety of characters is very important, each with their own peculiarities and talents. This makes it more attractive and interesting in my opinion.

A good story with a different concept from what I had seen before. Very well edited and with very good actors. I must highlight Cindy Lauper, it's the first time I've seen her as an actress, wow, awesome! And at the same time listen to her music on the soundtrack, that was a very good choice. Continuing with the music theme, I could say that some songs are not to my taste but they adapt well to the story and the environment.

There are a lot of moments of laughter and original humor throughout the series, having said this they could have raised the humor to another level, sometimes they are just bland jokes. But the truth is that I didn't care at all, the story speaks for itself and for me it is horror blend with comedy, entertaining and very pleasant to watch with episodes of only 30 minutes.

I'll be waiting for a second season and please don't be long!.

Do not miss it if you like horror and black comedy, and in this case one with a great variety of colors!!

I honestly wasn't too sure what I was getting myself into upon starting this show. Genuinely, all I really knew was that it's about a woman fresh out of prison trying to get her footing back.

What I discovered was an expertly crafted dark comedy horror(using that word lightly) that I finished on one dreary sunday. The storytelling was excellent as was the ensemble cast (Loved seeing a Cyndi Lauper cameo!)

It almost feels like a mix of "Orange Is The New Black", "Only Murders In The Building", and just a *touch* of one of the more Campy seasons of "American Horror Story"

I would definitely recommend this show to almost anyone and it has me wanting to check out more Amazon Originals.
