20 Best Netflix Original Shows
6. Russian Doll
Though Russian Doll has only had one season so far, it's already a Netflix standout thanks to its clever reimagining of the Groundhog Day premise and Natasha Lyonne's compelling lead performance.
In the show, Lyonne's character Nadia finds herself stuck in a timeloop and re-living the same unfortunate night time and time again. With this premise, it runs the risk of becoming repetitive or even boring, but its constant plot twists and creativity allows it to remain fresh and charming every step of the way.
Russian Doll, simply put, does an impossible thing, and takes an overdone idea and makes it its own. The show is grounded in philosophy and by Lyonne's manic and tragic lead role. It's also a masterpiece of dark comedy and is so fast-paced it's likely you'll watch it all in one sitting.
Season two is still reportedly on the way, and suffice it to say we're ready to see where it goes next.
