The new black comedy series "The Horror of Dolores Roach" is about many things: weed, gentrification and cannibalism, to name a few. The "Sweeney Todd"-inspired show began as a stage play, then became a podcast before coming to Prime Video on Friday.

NPR TV Critic Eric Deggans explains.

This segment aired on July 7, 2023.
