Few series are as ambitious, as idiosyncratic, and as heartbreaking as Netflix’s 2019 series ‘Russian Doll’. The philosophical dark comedy stars Natasha Lyonne as Nadia, software engineer who finds herself trapped in a time loop on her 36th birthday. Nadia dies and comes back to life in a macabre version of Groundhog Day that ties in Jewish mysticism, guilt, inherited trauma, and the power of connection. Joining her on her on her journey is Alan (Arrow‘s Charlie Barnett) who is similarly caught in the same time loop. Season one saw the duo save each other and break the cycle, bringing their story to a natural end. So when ‘Russian Doll’ was renewed for a second season, fans were naturally wondering what came next.
***SPOILER ALERT: This post discusses plot points from season 2 of ‘Russian Doll’.***
