    Groundhog Day with big hair.

    Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) is an independent brash, in-your-face New Yorker with hair to match. She loves cats and has a 'staying dead problem'! Her theories to-date are a mid-life crisis, cocaine or menopause.

    This Groundhog Day plot has the potential to become cliché, but the first episode is a strong beginning.

    This comedy drama has caught my attention

    "Russian Doll" is a unique television show. It's high concept; a young New Yorker keeps reliving the same day, "Groundhog Day"-style.

    Beautifully shot with a great ensemble cast and a kick-ass soundtrack, I'm genuinely curious to see where this series goes.

    Reminds me..

    Just started watching'! She is fantastic!

    She attracts you to the character!

    Love it!

    Seems like Madonna meets After Hours with all the strange things that happen in NYC!

    Bored

    I have not been this bored watching a pilot since... I can't even remember. I'm disappointed as I really wanted to like this.

    Very good start.. with great music

    I loved the idea of the show. it is light and well-written. The acting is quiet amazing as well as the dialogue. AND ONE MORE THING: the soundtracks are actually great and perfectly chosen. It's not that much of a comedy so far, but it looks like an interesting series to watch.
