The Horror of Dolores Roach

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.
