Russian Doll season 1: great atmosphere, great sound track. Engaging time travel mystery as two characters (Nadia and Alan) try to change their time loops and figure out their off track lives. Pensive, humorous, complex. 9/10

Russian Doll season 2: great soundtrack. Same two characters travel through time, except there's no stakes, and they can exit the time loops at will. They meander, and their stories do not even link up. The second character Alan is an afterthought. Stale, falsely upbeat. Nadia breaks fourth wall unquestioned, navigates nazi occupied cities without care, and thoughtlessly endangers timestream. 6/10

Enjoyed some surreal sequences of season 2 but overall Nadia is far too self absorbed. I had to stop watching about 3/4 way though the season. Powered through the rest for a moral at the end. Appreciated, but at a certain point a character is just too far gone.

Wish that the second season involved entirely new characters apart from Nadia and Alan.
