Russian Doll: How Many Times Does Nadia Die?

1. Episode 8

And the big surprise of the season's finale episode? There isn't a single death to speak of, with the focus instead shifting to Nadia and Alan resolving their timeline, which has splintered off and caused each to end up with an oblivious version of the other.

Thankfully the timelines end up merging back together in the final moments of the season, and after a staggering 22 deaths over the course of the eight episodes, Nadia and Alan get something approaching a happy ending.

It'll be interesting to see how the planned second and third seasons build on this, though it honestly feels like the anthology format might suit the premise a little better.

What did you think of Russian Doll? Did you manage to keep track of all the deaths? Shout it out in the comments!
