Russian Doll (Netflix)

Amy Poehler, big online love, so I watched.

Hard meh.

Maybe it's that it's so far beyond not the first of these kinds of things, maybe it's that I saw the end coming and there was like, one twist that surprised me and the other bored, I dunno but I thought it was just... boring? Unsatisfying? I don't know if I think they left a lot on the table or there wasn't much to begin with.

Anyone?

I like her hair. Otherwise, didn't make it very far, might try again later.

Calla Lily · Feb 10, 2019

My son and his GF started this and like it so far (through ep. 2). I'll give it a try.

telford · Feb 10, 2019

I tried but meh.

Ellis Clover · Feb 10, 2019

I thought it was very deftly done - clever, hilarious, horrifying and moving in turn. The writing and acting were standout. I loved the ending, though I've heard it's polarising. There's so much incredible TV these days that I'm a little harder to impress than I used to be, but this impressed me.

Calla Lily · Feb 17, 2019

Skipped through a bunch but watched to the end. Meh.

Alpha Echo · May 10, 2019

Yeah...not a favorite, but it held my interest long enough to get to the end. Plus, I love her. And her hair.

I thought it was fun, then it started to drag, dragged a bit more, little snippets of intrigue sprouted up and got me excited, and then urgh, the end, a total letdown.

I did really like the MC though.

There’s going to be a season 2.

Season 1 held my interest enough to watch it to its trippy, ambiguous end.

It's been long enough that I'm going to have to revisit season one. I barely remember the basic set-up and have lost the details.

But I love Natasha Lyonne.

Yeah, I need to rewatch as well. I remember it being extremely raunchy, and I don't think I'm particularly sensitive to such things. But I also remember it being occasionally hilarious, sometimes deeply sad, well-plotted, and unexpectedly kind-hearted in the end.
