Todd Freeman, as well as Cyndi Lauper, Marc Maron, Jean Yoon and Jeffery Self. The series also stars Alejandro Hernandez, Kita Updike, K. But when she’s pushed to the edge, she resorts to shocking extremes to survive. Dolores survives by running a massage business out of the basement of an old friend’s dilapidated shop, Empanada Loca.
She’s broke and alone when she returns to her old Washington Heights, New York, neighborhood, only to find she’s been priced out by gentrification. Adapted from a hit Gimlet podcast, this eight-part, half-hour series follows Roach (played by the formidable Justina Machado) just as she’s released from prison after serving a 16-year sentence. What’s really in that empanada you’re eating? Amazon Prime’s “The Horror of Dolores Roach” promises to have us all pondering that question when the Sweeney Todd-inspired comedy arrives midsummer.
And with Bob Odenkirk, a master of comedic and poignant performances, recently added to the show’s ranks, the new season sounds like it’ll be more filling than an Italian beef sandwich. The season ended with Carmy deciding to close the Original Beef, setting him up for a new food venture in Season 2 that’s sure to be chaotic. It’s rife with tension and pressure that makes you want to reach for the bottle of Tums while watching - in a good way. (Abby Elliott stars as Carmy’s sister, Natalie.) The first season cooked up a gripping rumination on grief and toxic workplaces in the food industry. He’s joined by the shop’s faithful and rough-around-edges kitchen staff - Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Marcus (Lionel Boyce), Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), Ebraheim (Edwin Lee Gibson), Sweeps (Corey Hendrix), Neil (Matty Matheson), Manny (Richard Esteras) and Angel (Jose M. But that hasn’t dulled my anticipation for the return of “ The Bear.” Created by Christopher Storer, the show centers on Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a young elite chef who returns home and ditches his fine-dining pedigree to run his family’s Chicago-based hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop, the Original Beef, after his older brother dies by suicide. Whenever I open a can of tomatoes - which, to be clear, isn’t often - it’s never not disappointing to see there isn’t a wad of Saran-wrapped cash there to greet me.
