The Horror of Dolores Roach

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
