Preview: Doll & Em Series 2

The series may be saying nothing the first run hadn't already made clear, that message of friendship against all the odds is one that holds up to a spot of repetition.

Doll & Em: how they turned a friendship into a sitcom

On paper, the first series of Doll & Em looked like a blueprint for how to destroy a lifelong friendship.

Doll & Em review

I've never seen a programme quite like Doll & Em and I can really tell it is a product of love, both for the show and for each other.

Interview with Doll & Em's director Azazel Jacobs

Azazel Jacobs' unique worldview-a place populated with characters that seem too strange to be real, and too sympathetic to be completely invented-proves to be the perfect fit for Doll & Em.

Jose Solis, Pop Matters, 1st April 2014

The LA dream is over, and so Doll and Em return to London in this series finale. In their trademark low-key style they're down to earth with a whimper, as Doll sulks back to her waitressing job and Em offers her brother money to go away. They're keen to avoid each other after the role-stealing incident over in LA, in a scene nearly as awkward as Em's encounter with Ben Chaplin and his stupid hat, where he accuses her of "up-inflecting". Guest star Noel Fielding and his offer of a bath save the day.

Besties Wells and Mortimer team for comedy 'Doll & Em'

What if you got famous and your best friend came out to Hollywood to hang with you ... and it was kind of a nightmare? Such is Emily Mortimer's anti-Entourage setup in Doll & Em, the clever new comedy she and real-life best friend ]p]Dolly Wells], both Brits, wrote and star in together.

Sara Stewart, The New York Post, 16th March 2014

Doll & Em is getting better and more uncomfortable by the week, as the tension between the best friends slowly builds. Now that Doll's on crutches, Em has slipped into the role of her assistant, with the Hollywood star even having to get her own coffee. As Em struggles with her insecurity, her injured mate's a hit on set, with Chloƫ Sevigny taking a shine to her. The sight of Doll hobbling over to interrupt Em's crucial scene is packed with subtle joy, as is the news that they're both off to the same audition.
