"Nice to meat you."

Boxlist takeA larger-than-life comedy-drama series, dark rather than wholesome. Best if you like the extraordinary over the everyday.

Synopsis

After an unjust 16-year prison sentence, Dolores Roach returns to a gentrified Washington Heights, where she reunites with an old stoner friend, Luis, who lets her live and work as a masseuse in the basement under his empanada shop. When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, “Magic Hands” Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive.
