Russian Doll Netflix Explained: Life Is Only a Joke of Death!

Russian Doll Review

Russian Doll Netflix is a drama-comedy!

According to Netflix, it is “cynical” and “offbeat”.

According to me, it is a mental mushroom sauce, enriched with tobacco and honey!

What I mean is:

Get ready to be lost!

Yes, she is smoking a lot. I am talking about the main character of Russian Doll Netflix, Nadia. And she dies a lot! Everyday! A couple of times! She is pulling us to her dark-red, dark-yellow, dark-green, and dark-white (!) world every time she dies. She has a gravity force. You walk into her unique sense of humor without questioning a second… You walk into her hair… You walk into her cigarette… You walk into Nadia, just like that…

She is a black hole that you enjoy to walk into.

Russian Doll name might be coming from Nadia’s layers. She has many Nadia’s inside her. Like the Russian Matryoshka doll. She is also carrying a problematic girl inside her.

As she dies, she feels closer to the girl inside her. Indeed, the problematic girl is the solution to her gigantic problems. But the hardest thing to know in this world is to know where to start.

Let’s take a look at the Russian Doll trailer now:

Both Natasha Lyonne (star of the series) and Nadia Vulvokov (the main character) are Russian names. This might be the second reason why they called the series Russian Doll.

Nadia is derived from the Russian word Nadezhda, which means “hope” in many Slavic languages. This is also ironic because Nadia hopes to die like everybody else. Normal life means a normal death for her. Abnormal? Maybe. Let’s talk about it one more time after you watch the series.

Here is the Russian Doll cast from IMDb’s page:

And here you can find the Russian Doll Soundtrack. My favorite Russian Doll song is “Gotta Get Up” which we hear a couple of times in every episode. Now, it’s time to read some comments. Let’s see what people say about this series on social media:

What They Say About Russian Doll Netflix on Social Media?

People love Nadia.

The way she talks, the way she walks, the way she thinks, the way she saddens and cheers up the world around us…

Her sarcastic and bewitching tone somehow someway grabs us…

She familiarizes her problems with us easily and we accept them as ours. Now, this is a talent!

Let’s read some social media comments about Russian Doll Netflix.

Finally watched @RussianDoll. Any recommendations for what I should watch next? Looking for something just as satisfying (or close to it) since we’ll all have to wait a while for season 2. #Netflix #RussianDoll

#RussianDoll co-creator @LeslyeHeadland
was often told she should be "quieter" if she wanted to succeed in the film industry. She explains to @RebeccaJarvis why she refused to listen: https://t.co/jLSE9leL6R pic.twitter.com/KXqLzGdWUb
