The actress, who stars and serves as executive producer, talks breaking catty stereotypes.
, Jules gets dumped by her boyfriend—over soggy huevos rancheros...rough—and realizes that her sense of identity was completely wrapped up in her former couple status. The rest of the 10-episode series alternates between reality and Jules' imagination as she re-enters girl world, starting with winning back the BBFs she'd ghosted during her relationship . For the 33-year-oldactress, who also acts as executive producer, putting authentic female friendships on-screen was paramount...
Part of what drew me to this project is that I’ve always struggled with identity. I was homeschooled in the socializing years of my life, from age 13 to when I graduated high school. I didn’t have your typical, trope-y, “girlfriends” thing. The show was like a social experiment for me. My friends don't really exist in a group. I don't really have a squad. I do not have a squad. I'll just clarify that.
MC: The show feels genre-bending, vacillating back and forth between the real world and a the magical realism of Jules' imagination. Why use such a device?The magical realism style enters the show when Jules is overwhelmed, or has a decision to make. I call it the Calvin and Hobbes effect. For the people who don't know, Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip from my childhood that is brilliant. It's about a little boy and his stuffed tiger toy that comes to life when he's alone.
, I felt like I’ve had enough experience to lend something positive to the process. The casting process felt especially rewarding because I know it can be brutal. I wanted to make the cast feel they could come to me with any issue.“Executive producer” is definitely a thing that some people like to just slap their name on and it’s part of the deal. But I was very involved. I really enjoyed it, especially working with Margot Robbie's company LuckyChap, which produced the show.
