'Russian Doll': Greta Lee says Natasha Lyonne's character is based on a famous New York painter's daughter

Greta Lee, who plays the role of Maxine on 'Russian Doll', speaks to MEAWW in an exclusive interview and talks about how it was to work with Natasha Lyonne and Rebecca Henderson

'Russian Doll' premiered on Netflix on February 1. Since its release, the series has got rave reviews from critics and fans all over the world seem to love it just as much. 'Russian Doll' was written, produced, created and directed by an all-female crew. The team consists of Leslye Headland, Amy Poehler, and Natasha Lyonne who stars as Nadia on the series. 

The show predominantly revolves around Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett). The duo — who are poles apart from each other — are stuck in an infinite loop and are living the same days over and over again. They try to help each other and break the loop so they can return to their regular lives. Along with Alan, Nadia also gets help from her friends Maxine (Greta Lee) and Lizzy (Rebecca Henderson). Her friends throw her a 36th birthday party, which happens to be the same day her loop begins after she dies and comes back to life.
