Dollface

The main theme of the series is that relationships between women are sacred and must be prioritized over relationships with men. The narrative is built entirely around female solidarity and the rejection of traditional dependency on boyfriends. The second season reinforces this with a major focus on Stella exploring her queer identity and navigating a same-sex relationship, making LGBTQ+ themes central to her character growth.

The series parodies modern, pseudo-woke wellness culture through a wellness startup called "Woöm," which sells absurd products. However, it still critiques traditional Western relationship expectations and family structures. It frames traditional romantic dependency as a trap that strips women of their individuality, promoting the female support group as the ultimate and most reliable social structure.

The series did not face a massive, coordinated anti-woke campaign. However, some independent commentators and viewers criticized the show for trying too hard to sell its "girl power" and feminist credentials. Others pointed out that the show promotes a biased view that paints romantic relationships with men as inherently limiting compared to female-only bonds.

While creator Jordan Weiss has a milder background, the show's creative direction is heavily shaped by feminist producers like Margot Robbie and Kat Dennings, as well as showrunner Michelle Nader. The writing staff also features prominent queer and activist-minded writers like Solomon Georgio and Josephine Green Zhang, who have a proven history of centering their work on marginalized identities and social commentary.
