'Russian Doll': Leslye Headland on what sets the series apart from clichéd shows with female protagonists

This is not your regular romance series, where the subjects are searching for a significant other. It deals instead with real life issues.
PUBLISHED FEB 1, 2019

Netflix is on a roll with a list of new series being released this year. Among the best of them is 'Russian Doll'. Recently released on the streaming giant, 'Russian Doll' follows Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) as they try to stop dying and coming back to life over and over again. 

This is not your regular romance series, where the subjects are searching for a significant other. It deals instead with real life issues. Created, directed, produced and written by an all-female crew that consists of Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland, this eight-episode series is filled with drama that will keep you entertained, plot twists that will have you guessing, and thrills that will leave you sad it is over.
