Click on the "users" here who have given this series a 9 or 10/10 rating and almost every single one is an account with only one review for, you guessed it, Russian Doll. This series has been spammed to an overall rating of 8.0 here in IMDb which is a total lie. I guess this is what passes for marketing these days, disingenuous raves from fake people. At least this was true when the series premiered.

First of all, this is not a comedy. Oh my freaking god, is this ever not a comedy. Not even close, not even once, not even for a little, tiny bit is it a comedy. Tedious? Yes, definitely tedious. Annoying? Wildly annoying.

Since she is destined to die so many times, how about just once she gets beaten to death by the hair police? What's up with that horrible mop on her head masquerading as hair? Or did her cat die up there?

And another lie is that the show gets better as it goes along. It's bad from start to finish.

Call me shallow but why would I want to look at this woman stuffing a cigarette into her fat gob for 30 minutes times eight episodes? Why are we still seeing people kill themselves with cigarettes as if this is something cool people do? Smoking is for pathetic, weak people. How about one of her deaths being from lung cancer?

If she were a man, I think the term polite society would use to describe this person would be an a-hole, not a compliment for men and it doesn't improve in the feminine gender.

And where did they get her? Which brings me back to my question: why would I want to look at her for 30 minutes at a pop? Why would anyone care to look into her life? She's a completely repugnant person and devoid of charm. Even the way she walks is unattractive, like a combination of Frankenstein and a zombie.

I've only made it to episode 2 so far and if I have to listen to that song and watch her go through opening scene in the bathroom and then the party one more time...

I suppose women have a right to imitate Andrew Dice Clay, but I never liked that guy, so where does that leave me? Answer: liking the protagonist even less than Dice.
