Russian Doll (2019–2022)
9/10
A scorcher of a show.
21 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I must admit the premise didn't exactly fill me with anticipation, but the viewing experience really was quite something, you are drawn into the world of Nadia, who is stuck in an endless loop, you learn more about her, and another character Alana, who has the same fate. Nadia begins as a somewhat unlikable figure, but very quickly you warm to her, empathising with her.

The writing is incredibly good, it's super slick, imaginative, and layered in a way that's both intriguing and moving. The acting is terrific, with Natasha Lyonne (Nadia) impressive hugely, but the main winner here for me, has to be the music, which is sensational throughout, it really does play a huge part.

I thought it got better as it went on, the last two episodes in particular were incredible, energetic, and dramatic with a huge sense of urgency.

I hope they don't milk the show to death, as is so often the case, leave it be, a terrific drama, with a beginning, middle and end. 9/10.
