No More People Empanadas!

That is what I want printed on a t-shirt in response to the amazing "In the Heights" update of Sweeney Todd. You will be mesmerized by Justina Machado in this girl "I don't wanna be a serial killer" dark comedy which is a modern update of the classic cannibalism tale. I found myself laughing at the most inappropriate moments and cheering on Luis and Dolores as the lovers done wrong who are at the center of the chaos. Machado is like a simmering pot ready to boil over at any point. And boil over she does (just watch her expressions when she pops). This series is like a tea kettle. It starts off simmering, then builds steam and by episode 8, it is whistling away. Can't wait for season 2!
