Ever had a near-death experience and felt like you have had a second chance at living life? Nadia and Alan from 'Russian Doll' do, but in this case, the duo keeps dying over and over again as they keep reliving the same day over and over again. The show boasts a little bit of everything – drama, comedy, thrills and a couple of psychological twists and turns to keep you on your toes.

With just a few days for the series to premiere on Netflix, Charlie Barnett who plays the role of Alan spoke to MEAWW in an exclusive interview where he shared an inside look of the neurotic character he plays, how similar it is to him in real life and how it was to shoot the coming back to life scene over and over again. With the premise so interesting we bet this is one dark comedy series that should not be missed.
