TL;DR

"The Horror of Dolores Roach," a TV series based on a play and podcast, explores the story of Dolores Roach, a former convict who becomes a serial killer. The show starts off slow, focusing on character development and building a sense of place in a gentrified Latino neighborhood. As Dolores ramps up her body count, the show becomes funnier and grislier, with an earned climax. Justina Machado excels in her role, showcasing her characteristic physical humor. The series is provocative, blurring the line between normality and extremity, and asks the audience to root for and against its leads. "The Horror of Dolores Roach" premieres on Prime Video.
