Russian Doll is a fantastic new series on Netflix that stars Natasha Lyonne as a woman celebrating her thirty-sixth birthday--only to wind up getting caught in a weird time loop where she's repeatedly killed and then relives the same birthday party all over again.
Yeah, it's basically Groundhog Day, but Russian Doll is also just as sidesplittingly funny as the Bill Murray movie. And it also has a nice, Twin Peaks vibe in how it tries to explain what's happening to Lyonne's character (the ending is bonkers in a good way that David Lynch might approve of). Lyonne's Nadia is a chain-smoking, drink-loving party girl with a potty mouth who's extremely sympathetic.
I wasn't feeling well this past weekend, and so I thought I'd give this a shot--I wound up binge-watching the whole show in one day, and forgot about being sick in the process. It was that much fun. If you're looking for something very funny, raunchy, and weird, then give Russian Doll a shot.
