And though the show only runs for eight half-hour episodes, it's still not too easy to keep track of all the times Lyonne's spunky protagonist Nadia kicks the bucket, which sends her back to the start of a time loop that begins in the middle of her 36th birthday.

But fear not, because we kept a tally of Nadia's entire death-filled journey throughout the season, noting every death and every gnarly cause of death, alongside some of the more notable slivers of information she and other characters provide regarding the "rules" of the universe.

Of course, it goes without saying that MAJOR SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW, so if you haven't had time to finish the show yet, proceed with caution...
