(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished Season 1 of ‘Dollface’, the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)

I had not read anything about the show and just went through the motions (ready to rate it at the most a 4/10) and was surprised how good the jokes were.
Not only that, I was surprised by the actual content. Looks like I’ve found another MA show that I can add to my list!
PS; I’m undecided on what sub-genre to use. It’s basically 70% real...and 30% fantasy. But could the fantasy be happening only in Jules’ mind?
(But in episode 10...Izzy could see Cat Lady!)
PPS: So...are the friends...Older Millenials? Vulture puts them as 30-somethings.
(I was also confused that Goran Visnjic was playing a 45-year-old...in his 50′s...but....then after I checked his IMDB profile...he actually was 47 when Season 1 was released! What!? He was in his 30′s when he finished up ER!?
Yes! It’s actually Maura Tierney who is older! By 7-years!)
PPPS: Now I think I kind of like the reasoning of ‘Girls going to the toilet in groups’ --- there’s a serious safety concern if they don’t.

HIGHLIGHT:
INT. MKUNDU LAUNCH PARTY - NIGHT
STELLA and JULES are sipping their drinks. MADISON is standing in between them. STELLA puts hers down.
STELLA
I'm gonna run to the bathroom.
MADISON
Of course.
MADISON starts to follow STELLA, but stops after she notices JULES isn't heading to the same direction.
MADISON
What are you doing? We have to go with Stella.
JULES
Oh, I don't have to pee.
MADISON
What does needing to pee have to do with going to the bathroom?
JULES
Is this a riddle?
MADISON
Girls are supposed to go to the bathroom together.
She pauses and stares at her friend. Capiche?
JULES
Well, yeah, but isn't that rule kind of stupid?
MADISON
You're right, Jules. No, it's stupid. And cliques are stupid and loyalty is stupid...and bein there for your friends is stupid. Thank God you're too good for all that.
JULES
Madison, I mean, come on, this---What do you think this whole night was about? This is for you.
MADISON scruitinises her friend.
MADISON
Just forget it.
JULES stands there as her friend walks off and heads to the toilet.
JULES
Madison, wait.
INT. CLUB (HALLWAY TO TOILETS) - NIGHT
JULES arrives just in time to see MADISON rushing out from the women's toilet.
JULES
Hey.
MADISON
She's not in the bathroom.
The reverse shot reveals that IZZY is now standing next to JULES.
JULES
Really?
IZZY
Hey.
MADISON AND JULES
Whoa!
IZZY
If you guys are looking for your friend Stella, I think I saw her get into a van with a weird older guy.
MADISON
Wait, a weird guy with a van?
MADISON throws a look at JULES. Extremely concerned. We know what 'guy in white van' means....right?
IZZY
Yes, but she seemed totally fine. I mean, she wasn't wearing shoes, but...
JULES
Excuse us.
JULES and MADISON head to the exit.
EXT. CLUB (ENTRANCE) - NIGHT
JULES and MADISON arrive just in time to see a white van peel off.
JULES AND MADISON
(shouts)
Stella!
MADISON throws her hands up and turns to JULES.
MADISON
You see what happens when we don't go to the bathroom together?
