Dollface

An original, relatable comedic take on starting over after a break-up, the show’s title, Dollface, refers to the nickname our protagonist’s ex-boyfriend gave her, which she hates. In keeping with the theme of rediscovering identity outside of coupledom, the episodes are all named after labels like “Homebody,” “Fun Friend,” and “Beauty Queen,” and often challenge the characters to embrace or defy them.

In search of emotional support, Jules attempts to reconnect with two college besties also living in Los Angeles, but quickly has to gain some self-awareness of her hurtful actions and frustrating behaviors that led to the neglect of these longstanding friendships. Each member of Jules’ core group of friends embodies a distinct personality. Stella, played by Mitchell, is a carefree party girl, while Song’s character Madison is a driven careerist. Jules also develops a friendship at her workplace — a Gwenyth Paltrow-esque wellness company by the name of Woöm, run by recurring guest star Malin Akerman — with Povitsky’s Izzy, who makes for an endearing addition to the group.

Dollface lets viewers’ imaginations run wild with recurring dream sequences that tease the internal anxiety associated with starting fresh and the unbreakable rules of the girl code. These segments of magical realism, which often feature a lady with a cat head (voiced by the wonderful Beth Grant), are almost like insights into Jules’ psyche and the emotional labor needed to put yourself back together after a difficult breakup. To add interest to the episodes, Dollface consistently leans on guest stars, including Dave Coulier, Joey Lawrence, and Macaulay Culkin (who recently became engaged to Song in real life).
