Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattAug 11, 2011
Season 1 Review: Dolls has the acrylic stink of a low-rent reality show. Small dramas--like the twentysomething whose parents disapprove of her Spanish beau--could be interesting; instead, it all just devolves into Girls Behaving Badly.

Season 1 Review: The series lacks the sort of connective tissue that provides at least a modicum of narrative coherence to the "Real Housewives" franchise, or any number of programs that have beaten Dolls to the punch. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Russian Dolls is so busily edited--is any shot longer than 3 seconds?--that there's no flavor of anything. Read full review
