Which is why we love Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll
For those unfamiliar with one of Netflix’s most talked about shows, Russian Doll is one of the most coked up alcohol binged modern day take on Groundhog Day which you’ll probably ever see. Starring Natasha Lyonne as protagonist, Nadia Vulvokov, a forever alcoholic New Yorker who spends more time living and less time thinking about her actions. We are introduced to her sordid world amidst a celebration of her 36th birthday. Feeling triggered yet, elder millennials?
After enjoying the celebrations and being introduced to Nadia’s truly screwed up existence she is killed in a bizarre set of circumstances which resets the clock for her to do it all over again. This sets her down a path of self-discovery, priority resetting, and not to mention – plenty of drugs, sex and alcohol. Not to mention teaming up with down and out loser, Alan, who is also trapped in this time loop but not before we are treated to an ending involving a marching band made up of homeless people.
If anything, Russian Doll is a bizarre adventure about taking hold of your life and resetting the mistakes you’ve made. Here’s 21 of our absolute favourite Russian Doll quotes taken from Russian Doll – Season One.
