4. Dollface

Released in 2019, this show is another classic breakup tale. Jules’s boyfriend of five years leaves her, making her feel abandoned and lonely. However, this time of self-reflection leads her to realize that she was so focused on the relationship that she neglected her friends, who had moved on without her in the past few years. The show “Dollface” is about her journey to reconnect with her friends. Surreal scene breaks are used to illustrate society’s expectations of women, and this aspect of the show helps it truly stand out. It’s one of the most refreshing takes on female friendship that we’ve seen so far, giving watchers a laugh and reminding them that romantic relationships aren’t the only bonds that matter. 

5. Like Crazy

A must-watch for long-distance relationships, Like Crazy shares the story of a couple forced into a long-distance relationship just months after they start dating. When Anna overstays her student visa, she’s banned from the country, making it impossible to see Jacob after she takes a brief trip home. They understandably want the relationship to list, but distance puts a strain on things. Eventually, they develop separate lives and while the on-and-off moments can be painful to watch since problems happen due to the circumstance, it’s a little comforting to know that things can sometimes end without it being anybody’s fault. 

6. High Fidelity 

While the original movie is full of talent, we can’t help but fall for Zoe Kravitz’s swoon-worthy performance in this 10-episode show which takes us through the worst breakup of her character Rob’s life. Having trouble moving on from this breakup, Rob reaches out to her five greatest heartbreaks to see what went wrong in each of her relationships. She realizes that although they’re not all her fault, she has a history of self-sabotage and is scared of commitment. This character is rough and jaded after rejection but still has her vulnerability. It can help lead your own moments of self-reflection, but don’t call your ex!
