Russian Doll [Netflix]

Mr E

Russian Doll stars Natasha Lyonne and starts on February 1st on Netflix. Looks like a very adult Groundhog Day/Happy Death Day, and looks darkly funny. Hope it's good! I love anything with a clever time loop.

I stuck with it and wished I hadn’t bothered tbh

I abandoned it halfway through the second one. Found her very annoying and really didn't care at that point why it had all happened.

Really wasn't sure after the first episode but I decided to stick with it. 6 episodes in now and I'm loving it

Will finish it tomorrow and looking forward to seeing what happens.

Wow, interesting to see how people's opinions differ. Horses for courses I suppose...

I thought this was fantastic! Unnerving & dark at the beginning with plenty humour thrown in for good measure. Also didn't know how it was going to pan out throughout the series but ended well. Can't imagine how the next seasons will work though.

Main actress was excellent imo, the NY Jewish thing was definitely played up but her performance wasn't any the worse for it. Highly recommended!

I tried to stick with it too but couldn't, just hated all the characters.

Binged it and really enjoyed it, I'm glad they brought in the "second" character of Alan, I thought the chemistry between the two was very well done.

Me’h, same scenario repeated. Could have been condensed. Only watched it for Lyonne.

I can see why some might have not have taken an initial shine here: the characters in episode 1 are achingly ... "Bohemian New Yorkers". I think though that's the point & are meant to laugh a little at their eccentricities.

Thought it was brilliant and just read they pitched 3 seasons to Netflix. No idea where session 2 could go but I'll watch the **** out of it.

Thought she did a great job of making the character sympathetic, after being far from it early on.

This was alright...it was okay. Don't really get the overwhelmingly glowing reviews, it wasn't anything super special.

Really tired of Natasha Lyonne's schtick, even before Orange Is The New Black...her voice, her mannerisms, her whole gimmick...she's like a cross between Danny DeVito and Whoopi Goldberg.

She really overdoes the whole Jewish thing. I know she is actually Jewish but still.

She's Jewish, from New York. She's pretty much playing herself in this, even some of the character's backstory matches hers.

How can someone overdo playing herself?

4 episodes in, loving it, the script is bang on.

I love Natasha anyway, but her acting is top notch.

Can't wait to see the rest.

An interesting show and felt like Natasha Lyonne was two different people. Drama/half comedy.

Binged this over the weekend. Loved it. the humour was good, when it was creepy it was done very well, and importantly, for a show with a premise like this, it nailed the landing.

Anyone else get the feeling that they would have cast Carrie Fisher in the role of Ruth if she was still alive?

Genuinely thought it was Carrie Fisher for half a second!

Loved this. Great show, and it demands a rewatch. Looking forward to going through a second time.

I watched 2 and a half episodes and thought it was shít. The main woman's accent was all over the place too.

Yeah, I enjoyed it too, one of the best Netflix original series I've watched. Re the tune, I thought it was irritatingly present early on(but used for good reason) but really didn't notice it much after that.

Binged it all. Thought it was great.

Who the F**k*ng hell calls there cat "OATMEAL"???

Got through the first episode, be-careful, blink and you miss important parts. Had to rewind a few times.

Happy Death Day was so disappointing, but this looks pretty great.

And for those who care about these things (Such as me, cos it pretty much got me watching the trailer), it comes from the mind of Amy Poehler.

That's me in.:)

Less than half an hour an episode! Actually on the 6th

Glue sniffing ftw.*

*That'll probably make more sense when you've watched, plus can't beat some good evostick.

Anyone start watching it yet?

Been catching up on other shows aired last night. STD, Orvile, TBBT and YS.
