Season 1 Review:
The series clearly has fun playing with that line, putting normality and extremity in conversation and asking the audience to root both for and against its leads. A playful show about a serial killer, "The Horror of Dolores Roach" gets its frights by not taking itself too seriously.

Season 1 Review:
It’s simply entertaining to watch Dolores scramble to stay one step ahead of ruin, or slowly embrace the rage threatening to eat her alive from the inside — and for the most part, that’s enough. Think of her story not as a lavish five-course meal to be savored, but a sizzling fast-food snack: a treat best inhaled by the fistful, over the course of some lazy afternoon.

Season 1 Review:
That The Horror of Dolores Roach manages to be just cheeky enough to overcome its many flaws is a testament to Machado’s presence — she helps to turn a television meal that doesn’t always go down as easy as one would hope into one that has a bit more meat on its bones.

Season 1 Review:
The series is a worthy, likeable effort from cast and crew to make a smaller show break into a crowded, saturated streaming market, but it’s hard not to feel frustrated when everything good about it is a couple hairs away from being great. Dolores Roach makes for a quick bite when it should have been a full meal.

Season 1 Review:
While the televised take on Dolores Roach — anglicized from “Rocha” — gets a boost from Justina Machado, who brings the same warm charisma to a serial killer she did to a single mom in “One Day at a Time,” the show is too timid to embrace the extremity of its premise. Advertised as a horror comedy, “The Horror of Dolores Roach” effectively earns neither scares nor laughs.
