The Horror of Dolores Roach: A Dark and Gritty Urban Legend that Falls Short

By
Screen Grab from Amazon The Horror of Dolores Roach, an Amazon Original Series based on the popular Gimlet podcast, offers viewers a contemporary and macabre take on the Sweeney Todd story. With its themes of love, betrayal, survival, and cannibalism, the show has all the ingredients for a compelling and thrilling narrative.
