Best dark comedy, great casting!

This dark comedy is really worth watching. It's not too horror scary. The casting is spot on, not one character out of step with the story. The comedic and the darker scenes flow into each other effortlessly with surprising twists hitting the scene at intervals. The plot is a bit of a modern take on Sweeney Todd, with Dolores Roach / Justina Machado as the lead. She's one of my favorite actresses and here she really gets to shine. It is a horror story though, so not all laughs. It has relatively short episodes, about 30 minutes. Which makes it perfect for both binging or a paced viewing. La Empanada Loca might be a nod to Los Pollos Hermanos. Dolores gets out of prison after 26 years on a drug charge, and the series also shows how difficult it is to start again. I hope to see more of this!
