I read a little bit about this series before watching it. I thought it would be like a feminist version of Groundhog Day, but it is not. The only thing these two films have in common is that the charachters are trapped in a time loop. Russian Doll is much darker then Groundhog day and the story is completly diffrent. The first couple of episodes are just ok but when Allan comes in to the picture around episode 3 or 4 things get a lot more interesting. If you are thinking about watching this on Netflix then I can deffinatly reccomend it. Just dont think it will be anything like Groundhog Day.
