Prime Video’s Macabre Series THE HORROR OF DOLORES ROACH: Trailer
Prime Video dropped a trailer today for its macabre series The Horror of Dolores Roach, starring Justina Machado as Dolores “Magic Hands” Roach and filmed in Toronto and Hamilton last summer.
Based on the hit Gimlet podcast, the limited series premieres July 7th.
Dolores Roach (Justina Machado) is released from prison after 16 years and returns to a severely gentrified Washington Heights with $200 and the clothes on her back. With her boyfriend missing and her family long gone Dolores reunites with an old stoner buddy, Luis, who gives her room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his dilapidated storefront, Empanada Loca, the only remnant of her former life.
When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive, and in the face of unexpected professional success, Dolores and Luis become dangerously symbiotic, and Luis must unleash his own peculiar predilections.
