About 'Russian Doll'
Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne stars in this comedy-drama series as Nadia, a young woman who is on a journey to be the guest of honor at a party in New York City. But she gets caught in a mysterious loop as she repeatedly attends the same event and dies at the end of the night each time -- only to awaken the next day unharmed as if nothing had happened. In addition to starring, Lyonne co-created the show with "Saturday Night Live" alum Amy Poehler and serves as a writer and director for the Netflix original series.

It really does say a lot about her character and what, or rather who, is important to her. Upon her reflections, it's the PEOPLE who come to her mind first, not the project itself or how much money or notoriety it may have received. It's really nice to see.

I loved Russian Doll (both seasons!) because even though there are so many surreal, other worldly things going on, at the core of the series are true human actions, reactions, and emotions.

I believe by the time I'm 50 (I'm 27 now) it will be considered a cult classic. It ends so perfectly I didn't even feel the "show hole" energy, I just felt like I finished a really good novel.

Some people have been disappointed and I just don’t get that. Maybe they’re looking at it from some strictly plot point of view or something? Or maybe if you have functional parents you just don’t get it, I don’t know man. But it was so deep and such an intense exploration of regret, accepting the past, understanding that nothing you do can change your fucked up upbringing and that trying to do so will only make you miss out on the present. She poured her heart and soul into this season, she’s always been somewhat diplomatic about her parents, but a lot of the verifiable things are completely true (maternal grandmother a Hungarian Holocaust survivor for instance). Anyway yeah fucking spectacular, I don’t understand how anyone disliked it
