“Happy Birthday Baby!” Talk about Russian Doll on Netflix

I should mention my favourite, most timely joke: it involved the word "problematic."

"a very tough lady, who looked like if Andrew Dice Clay and the little girl from Brave made a baby"?

That was the beginning of the joke--it was the second half I loved, the thing she said as an aside.

Right, I gotcha.

Just finished bingeing this - perfect show. Loved the entire aesthetic - costuming, staging, music - and loved Natasha and everyone else. Loved that is was fun and dark and not dragged out and not too heavy.

I drew my friend this birthday card.

Can you view that?

Yup

:)

haha

Perfect.

love it

btw is yr display name a tribute to darraghmac?

Mine, kinder? If so I thought I came up with a good joke but may have actually forgotten that darraghmac came up with it!

I remembered it being a deems display name but can only find cutty using it (in 2010 so ripe for a resurgence!)

haha!

i feel as if i may finally adopt an air of justified injured innocence tyvm

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

S2 drops on 4/20.

yaaaaaaaay

The first series feels like a decade ago.

i am def gonna do a S1 rewatch

*jaunty piano music intensifies*

I probably said as much earlier: having a hard time seeing how they extend this into another season. (Can't remember if the end of the first set that up.)

It didn't. That one reason I want to see how they justify it.

When they cast Annie Murphy I figured it would be about her, but I guess it once again stars Natasha Lyonne?

i dearly hope they do not try to build off the prior season and just do something different

Surely they would have to. Maybe a new decade, like they do on For All Mankind.

It's set 4 years later. There's other information out there, but not sure if people want to reveal that stuff here

I have to say I rewatched this recently and, despite really liking it the first time, I found it borderline unbearable until Charlie Barnett shows up

I kinda don’t want to know anything about what’s going to happen, gonna dive in when S2 surfaces

Goddamn. This is gonna be a year of returning TV for me innit

I keep thinking that people are talking about the other Charlie Barnett and getting confused: https://www.vulture.com/2012/03/timing-is-everything-the-story-of-charlie-barnett.html

Two weeks to go...

So we will see andmoreagain after all.

Haven't played the trailer, but that's the post-Mitch head of news from The Morning Show on the right; she's very good in that.

I'll always think of Greta Lee as the hipster grifter from High Maintenance.

that "when are we" joke was pretty funny

Dropped today?

Maybe I’ll fire up the first episode after work

Pretty sure the rest of the Redds have watched multiple episodes already.

Went into the first episode of the new season with low expectations but it was really excellent.

Have watched 2 episodes so far and really liking it a lot. For some reason the humour element works for me much more this time than it did in series 1.

halfway through, not really feeling this season so far tbh, can't quite put my finger on why

a bit hopeful it'll resolve in a way that redeems the whole season

Just finished this. It is a bit mixed. Although I like the ambition of opening the series beyond NY to Budapest and Berlin, it didn’t work as well as the more contained first series. I also didn’t like some of the rather heavy handed resolution in the final episode.

Still plenty to enjoy in this series though.

Can someone convince me to proceed beyond Episode 3? Just not feeling it.

I know this won’t happen, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a single surprise episode of this show (in whatever season) where nothing weird happens, where the main characters just rub up against each other?

Dunno if I’ve changed or she has, but can’t deal with Nadia’s growly shit-talkin’ schtick this time around.
