    Seemingly bereft of the brilliance that made the first standout or the ideas that prompted such existentialism fail to land. Nadia's next time quandary is against her own mother's decisions which despite however hard she tries to fix it ends up extending the damage. It tries to be an exercise in forgiveness but stops short as joyless escapade without the stakes that made it so worthwhile.

    Wow, a whole season just to learn to live in the present... again. Nadia in season 2 is just an one linear machine. In season 1 she was smart and was finding reasons why and figuring out why they were stuck in the timeloop. Now, she just makes the worst decisions ever and forgot all the lessons she learned before.

    While "Russian Doll" didn't fully explain the "Groundhog Day"-like aspects of what was happening in its first go-round, it finally reached a logical conclusion. By contrast, the altered nature of Nadia and Alan's predicament mostly just feels like, "Well, we got picked up for another season, so why not?"

    Stylistically and philosophically consistent with its predecessor, it’s different enough to not feel like a calculating retread; as before, it’s admirable in its ingenuity, a little radical and deeply felt in ways that are not radical at all.

    Season 2 offers a more conventionally enjoyable (and more surreal) yarn, hopping decades, continents and bodies. It’s messier than its predecessor but less insular and claustrophobic, too.
