We chat with TheHorrorofDoloresRoach creator Aaron Mark about Dolores' complicated relationship with Luis and his hopes for a season 2 for the primevideo series:
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Horror of Dolores Roach finale.Now available to stream on Prime Video, The Horror of Dolores Roach tells the tale of a woman who is forced to go to extreme lengths to survive. Dolores' relatability causes viewers to root for her throughout the show's eight episodes and even manages to make her killing spree feel like a mishap rather than an intentionally malicious act.
But I had all this material that was to be the serialized version of Dolores' story, and Mimi O'Donnell, who had run the Labyrinth Theater Company and produced the play Off-Broadway, brought the project to Gimlet, and we made the podcast. So the irony of all of this is that when the podcast came out, suddenly there were all these people interested in doing the TV version of Dolores' story, which I had tried to do in 2016.
Aaron Mark: She's the only cast member from the podcast who came with us to television, and the podcast cast is unbelievably great. I pinch myself every day. The cast of the podcast and the cast for television are both just insanely extraordinary. We knew that the television version was going to be a totally different cast.
We're all the same, and backed into a corner, under the same circumstances, we would do the same thing. So it was really crucial, first and foremost, that the viewer is aligned with Dolores emotionally and psychologically. And I think one of the most effective ways to do that is to have her, via voiceover, really hold our hand and walk us through this, and know that we can trust her. Whatever we feel about what she's doing on screen, we know that we're her confidante.
I love that you dive a bit into Luis' background as well. Is that part of why he was so willing to do all of these horrible things for Dolores? Because of his past trauma?
