Surprised I never mentioned "Russian Doll" here! by Mischief Maker 06/07/2021, 6:59pm PDT
Just watched Russian Doll on Netflix for a second time. So many details you miss the first time.

It's probably my favorite of the Netflix originals. Yes, better than "Maniac" despite the two having very similar broad structures. "Maniac" has wonderful style at points but ends up feeling like less than the sum of its parts. Russian Doll is just about perfect, from the dialog to the cinematography to the FANTASTIC soundtrack!

It's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kinda show and it's best to go in blind. (With the one exception if you're on the fence that while it has the same basic premise as Groundhog Day, it becomes much, much more by the end.)
