Russian Doll Review: 8 Ups & 2 Downs

It's a tad disappointing that there's already been talk of two more seasons - Lyonne claims it was pitched to Netflix with three seasons in mind - because this seems like such a tight and concise one-off. If it can match the general brilliance on display here, though, it'll be tough to begrudge more episodes.
Basically, if you were worried that your time might end up wasted with an unsatisfying conclusion, fear not.
