15 Underrated Sci-Fi TV Shows You Should Be Streaming Now

8. Russian Doll

On her 36th birthday, Nadia dies suddenly after leaving her party. Regaining consciousness in the party's bathroom, she shrugs the incident off as some kind of drug-induced hallucination.

But, Nadia just keeps on dying, again and again, and again, each time waking up in the same bathroom. Slowly she pieces together what's happening, unravelling the mystery of her excruciating predicament.

There's a great cast of characters but Natasha Lyonne's performance, in particular, as the cynical and sarcastic protagonist Nadia, is all together tragic, charming and endlessly watchable.

Russian Doll is a wonderfully ludicrous piece of science fiction, with a delightfully dark sense of humour, that takes its queues from the likes of Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow.
