Gli orrori di Dolores Roach

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.

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 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.

Looking for something to put on and I couldn't find anything! Came across the title, I am a fan of Justina Machado, love horror movies, and Blumhouse! So this was right up my alley. The acting is good! Justina is a boss! She knows how to play this role a little too well, but she makes it look gooood! Right amount of horror, very dark visuals, tones, lighting, the scenes, all done in a way that adds to the darkness that hides under tone of it all. It doesn't come off right away as a horror series, it's almost a stoner movie, then it takes its turn. You really root for her to over come the prison life and her new horrors that come.

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.
