I watched this on a whim, and I'm glad I did.
I really liked this defunct, short lived, surrealist comedy called Man Seeking Woman that was produced and stars Jay Baruchel. The premise is almost identical. I'd be curious if this show shares some connection to that one because the similarities are very strong. It uses the same surrealist structure, weaving seamlessly between down to earth scenes, to full on bonkers surrealism. I haven't finished the whole first season, but Man Seeking Woman leaned very heavily on this particularly aspect as time went on. This show similarly seems to be introducing more and more elements as it progresses. There's even a scene in episode 4 that seems like a callback to Kat Dennings former show, Two Broke Girls.
The shows strength is it's cast. The cast is great, especially Esther and Shay Mitchell. Brenda Strong rounds out the cast as the best friend, and she's dependable as always. Kat Dennings, in my opinion, while gorgeous and talented, seems like the weak link, unfortunately. The show seems a bit self-aware of this, devoting an episode to her being "boring".
Overall though these two shows have been an interesting niche genre in the television renaissance. I wouldn't say either Dollface or Man Seeking Woman have made the best use of this style that could be made, but I think them introducing this type of show is more important, even if the result is slightly off-putting. I sincerely hope people continue to try and make shows like this. Eventually it will produce something very spectacular.
