Resumen
Reviewers say 'The Horror of Dolores Roach' is a dark comedy horror series that blends satire, social commentary, and gore. Justina Machado's compelling performance as Dolores Roach, navigating life post-prison amidst gentrification and murder, is highly praised. The show explores themes of class, race, and sexuality, drawing comparisons to Sweeney Todd. While some find the gore excessive and the plot inconsistent, others appreciate the humor and suspense. Its short episodes and cliffhanger ending have sparked anticipation for a second season.

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!

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!!

The tv show heavily features violence, self harm and drug themes. It also teach people how to murder others and deal with bodies. This is sth that you don't want to learn. Although the plot was sick and disgusting, there was one thing keeping pondering me. As a a freshman who just got out of jail, Dolores had no one around to support her, including anyone from the correctional facility. How could anybody like her go back to their normal lives if no one was there for them. This is a very common problem in some countries. Former inmates don't have anyone to support and help them back on track will likely to commit another crime(s) again. For example, Dolores has no family, no friends around. She needed someone to support her for her mental health but no one was around. Her mind snapped once again and again and she was just not a criminal, she was also a victim.
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.
