This week's list of Crave recommendations features an up-and-coming comedy star and a hard-hitting documentary produced by Drake.
DollfaceSeries creator
Jordan Weiss describes Dollface as a show for women more worried about finding a maid-of-honor than a husband. It stars
Two Broke Girls' Kat Dennings as a recently-dumped young woman who attempts to rekindle the female friendships she neglected during her long-term relationship. Dennings brings her charm and witty humour to the lead role and is joined by
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody's Brenda Song and Mississauga’s own Shay Mitchell. If you enjoy stories with strong female leads and satirical fantasy elements, you won’t want to miss
Dollface. You can stream the entire first season on Crave today.
Ready for WarAfter garnering serious credibility as an executive producer with
Euphoria and
Top Boy, Drake continues to make his mark on the small screen with his latest project,
Ready for War. A Showtime documentary,
Ready for War sheds light on the shockingly large number of Mexican immigrants who volunteered for the American military, but were deported after returning from their tours of duty. Joining Drake is elite Hollywood producer David Ayer, who has worked on films such as
Training Day,
Fury and
End of Watch. The film received positive reviews following its premiere at TIFF, and if it’s anything like Drake’s earlier projects this year, it should be a hit.
Ready for War begins streaming on Crave on November 22 at 9 p.m.
