Russian Doll

[calsnowskier]

just tripped over this one on Netflix. It looks like a series version of Happy Death Day, starring Natasha Lyon.

Just starting it now. If it is good, I may finish it by game time.

Watched a couple of episodes. Like it so far.

Is this Carrie Fishers last roll? And why is t she in the credits? That doesn’t bode well...

 

[calsnowskier]

OMG!!


That’s not Carrie Fisher. Spittin’ image of her. This chick should be cast in ep IX...

 

[calsnowskier]

The ending was rather meh...

Spoiler

So they exist in different timelines now? Why did the universe stop them from fixing it earlier, but then allowed them to fix it for the finale? What changed?

I burned through a couple episodes last night. I really enjoyed it. Natasha Lyon is a lot of fun to watch on screen and plays the role really well.

I love that they are half hour episodes.

Might I suggest a mirror to see yet another boob?

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm excited to watch this one.

Dark Groundhogs Day, eh?

Kinda. Interesting premise. Worth watching. Ending felt a bit incomplete but not terribly so.

Incomplete in that it wasn’t really clear what happened, but I don’t know that there is much room for continuation.

True. I don't think there is much they could continue with, although you never know.

It was more that the show simply chose not to reveal what was behind the curtain in a lot of ways.

I am fine with those questions not getting addressed. I laughed at people who were pissed at Lost for not answering the concept of God and Life and Death.

I didn't watch Lost.

But I was perfectly happy with the ending of Russian Doll. IMO, a short run series is much easier to deal with leaving with unanswered questions than a long running show with convoluted stories.

more than incomplete... it didn't make sense... Other than how it finished, the show was pretty decent... But it is also forgettable... As I will forget what happened and not care to remember it...

It was a good show. Worth a watch.

I don't expect there will be another season.

From reading so many good reviews from sources I like - and being a fan of Natasha Lyonne (only decent reason to have watched any OITNB IMO) I'm pretty amazed that I really don't like this show.

I'm interested in it enough to finish it, I have two left. I like her in it. But overall I do not like it much at all.

 

[Comeds]

While still not a huge fan of the whole series, they nailed the last two. The second to last was creepy, and I really liked the finale.
