Dollface (2019–2022)
7/10
Good comedy and cast but very simplistic and superficial take on feminism
27 May 2021
I loved Kat Dennings, the rest of the cast and the humour that shifts from grotesque to surreal.

What I did not like was the ongoing "what a woman is supposed to be like"... sexy, successful, always going to parties and making a big drama out of everything.

As a woman myself, I have felt this pressure from my friends, there is no space in this show for women who don't fit into this preconceived, very shallow type, and when a character ( Jules mostly) just wants to be herself she is shamed and "fixed".

This show does not allow the idea of women who are different, who have a different concept of well-being and happiness different to sexy, successful ambitious young lady.

If you manage to take this warped feminism as grotesque, plus the deliberate humour, you can have a good laugh with Dollface.
