Russian Doll had a good production quality, and the premise of the story was interesting. However, the characters felt one dimensional and the inconsistency in the actions of main character Nadia was a big minus for me. There was a lot of over-acting happening by the majority of the cast, which suited the style of the show to a certain degree.

The story was interesting, but many aspects of the supernatural elements in were written without any proper explaination or logic. Usually in these kinds of series there is a proper logic to how the supernatural elements (like time travel) function. In Russian Doll's case it felt like the story was told in a convenient and lazy manner which resulted in a confusing outcome. It is understandable if the series is meant to be set in an "afterlife", but even in that case I personally think the story could have been more consistent.

Nevertheless, watching Russian doll was an ejoyable experience, and the background stories of the characters were interesting and well thought. There were many unique references and metaphors included in the story which was refreshing to see. For example, it was interesting to see a character with Hungarian descent, as that is not commonly seen in big American productions.

I would recommend this show to hipsters, semi-liberal/semi-woke people, and women who like science fiction.
