Russian Doll (netflex)

#1 Post by Buc Wheat »

Not an original story...or the best one... but enjoyed the main character.

Thought the ending was... uhhh.. off. But overall an enjoyable
series.

If you like time loop stories, you'll probably enjoy this one.

The writing and dialog were excellent. Worth the time.

Is the title a reference to the nesting dolls, smaller and smaller nearly identical hollow dolls inside each other.

hmmmm... was baffled by the name of this, truth be told.

There was one scene where she picks up a nesting doll.. but
don't see how the actual story explains the title? Cud just
be me.

She was of Russian ancestry, and was trapped by memories of her mother. That was my interpretation.

I vaguely remember an older film, a spy movie IIRC, where the Russian nesting dolls represented multiple stories inside one another and characters with multiple secret identities.
