2/13/19 Russian Doll (Netflix Series)?

    I am still unsure if this can come back for a second season, most of the storyline was wrapped up pretty good in the first season which consisted of 8 perfectly paced episodes.  I was unsure what this show might be about, but I have always liked Natasha Lyonne, since popping up in the American Pie movies and acting like the movie's sex expert.  Actually, I just looked at her IMDB page and she has been in stuff we have seen since she was as young as six when she came out in Pee-Wee's Playhouse, but back to the present.
    The series/show has a little Groundhog Day in it in that the main character, Nadia, keeps dying and then repeating the day from the moment when she is in a funky bathroom at a party held for her birthday by one of her best friends.  We gather from the discussions she has that her mother was 36 when she killed herself, and this is her 36th birthday party, so there is some relation to that, maybe.  The building where the party is being held used to be an old jewish kids school, so that is investigated.  She also smokes a pot cigarette which is laced with cocaine, which in reality was Ketamine, or Special K.  She investigates all these leads before discovering there is another male experiencing the same phenomenon.
    The male is almost robotic in nature, for all of Nadia's quirks and grunginess, he is the opposite, very composed, works out, and is apparently obsessed with self help audio tapes.  He is in the process of asking his girlfriend to marry him, when he dies, so he is repeating that every time.  I thought it was cool that his girlfriend was Dayanara, from Orange Is The New Black.  There is a lot going on with the characters and several characters are in both of their lives before they meet, so it almost seems they were destined to meet.
    Each episode has the two young adults falling in love slowly and cautiously to prevent mad chaos.  I don't want to give up the ending but it really is a good show and I believe I binged it in two nights.
    Other review places are calling it the best new show in 2019 and giving it critical acclaim, meaning everyone with half a brain has liked it.
