Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne stars in this comedy-drama series as Nadia, a young woman who is on a journey to be the guest of honor at a party in New York City. But she gets caught in a mysterious loop as she repeatedly attends the same event and dies at the end of the night each time -- only to awaken the next day unharmed as if nothing had happened. In addition to starring, Lyonne co-created the show with "Saturday Night Live" alum Amy Poehler and serves as a writer and director for the Netflix original series.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Not all of Russian Doll's gambles pay off in this ambitious and thrillingly audacious second season, but the show's willingness to take risks is often its own reward.

Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 04/25/2022
Raw, bruising, and existentially heavier than its predecessor. If the first installment felt miraculously complete, the seven new episodes feel instead like a slide down into a darker space. Go to Full Review Lauren Sarner New York Post 04/24/2022
The show is a shining example of how the sci-fi genre doesn’t have to consist of laundry lists of nonsense fake science terms and explosions; it can be used to tell thoughtful stories that speak to the roots of human nature. Go to Full Review Terry Nguyen Vox 04/22/2022
It is an ambitious but ultimately lacking attempt at illustrating how trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, at the expense of the protagonists’ development and season one friendship. Go to Full Review Tamma Moksha The Hindu 06/12/2024
Each scene, sequence and episode of the show is tempered with multiple social and philosophical questions, all of which are significant and carry a certain weight. Go to Full Review Jackson Weaver CBC News 10/16/2023
4/5
[Lyonne] does everything to continue the exceptionally well-realized characters that originally drew audiences in, but with an expanded scope and looser focus... Even with a different feel than the original, Season 2 is still one of the best things on TV. Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Flip Screen 09/04/2023
5/5
Compulsively entertaining and addictive in the sense that it has a way of leaving room for future possibilities of more stories down the line. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 28 LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SERIES. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE 1ST SEASON AND I HOPED THAT THE 2ND ONE WILL BE AS GOOD. AND IT WAS. IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT IT'S REALLY ENTERTAINING AND I JUST LOVE NATASHA. IN MY OPINION YOU CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. IT'S A LITTLE BIT TRICKY BUT WHEN YOU GET IT AND WATCH UNTIL THE END EVENTUALLY IT ALL WILL MAKE SENSE. See more Daniel S. @antys Oct 19 Perfect, beautiful, & profound. Wouldn’t change a thing if I could See more Dude C @RT54731883 07/09/2024 It’s was pretty good (season 1) but this season pretty bad. See more Wes W @WesWatches 02/04/2024 Not quite as good as the first season. I liked the "repeat" aspect of season 1 as opposed to the "time travel" aspect of season 2. For storytelling, it seemed to make for a more coherent plot. Things get super out-of-hand toward the end of season 2. But it's still a fun journey to go on. See more Dani M @matyd 12/23/2023 Original, inventive and fresh. The soundtrack is great as well. See more Valerii Ege D @RT37895442 10/30/2023 Russian Doll is still a sweet show. Natasha Lyonne is a fantastic actress. She's running the show alone. The transitions between the times and the characters were enjoyable. But I watched it, and yes, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as meaningful as the first one. See more Read all reviews
