Co-created by Amy Poehler (Parks & Rec, Sisters), Netflix's new comedy is a high-concept mix of Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day. Russian Doll stars Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black, American Pie) as a woman trying to escape a party that is being thrown in her honour, but upon leaving, she is killed in a car accident, and then wakes up... back at the party. Over and over, she is killed and killed again, and each and every time she winds up back in the middle of the party she is trying to escape.

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?

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.
