How’s this for meta storytelling and see if you can keep up: Prime’s new dramedy series, The Horror of Dolores Roach (streaming July 7), is based on a scripted, fictional podcast from 2018. The show begins on the opening night of a fictional play, which is based on the podcast, but treats the grisly events of the podcast as if they were real, and not a modern urban legend produced for your listening pleasure by Gimlet Media. If that seems hard to follow, don’t worry. The Horror of Dolores Roach makes it easy for you—and supplies plenty of macabre thrills along the way.
The series introduces us to the titular Dolores Roach (a typically brilliant Justina Machado) who pops up at the play about her life, years after a string of murders in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood put her on the run. But Dolores isn’t in the audience to be part of the standing ovation, she’s got a few notes for the lead actress. There’s a record that Dolores would like to correct: She’s not just the woman who killed people and fried their remains in some wildly popular empanadas. She’s also a victim of circumstance and system, and this is her one chance to tell her side of the story.
The Horror of Dolores Roach is told almost entirely through flashbacks, which are complemented by Machado’s stellar voiceover narration, reminding viewers that the show is leading up to the present moment at the theater. In these recollections, we meet a struggling Dolores just released from a 16-year prison stint, trying to reacclimate to her old neighborhood which looks entirely new after gentrification tore through it. Like many former prisoners who are released with few resources at their disposal, it’s not easy for Dolores to get her bearings. Though Dolores might be a gifted masseuse, she soon realizes that her hands are as good for her protection as they are for her profession.
