	Author	Review
United States	Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: Despite its flaws, if Nadia and Alan grow a little with each reality-bending experience they share, I look forward to whatever surreal adventure awaits them in season three"	POS
United Kingdom	David Craig Radio Times	"[2nd Season Review]: though it initially seems like the character's charm has faded over her three-year absence, it is gradually restored across a seven-episode saga that goes to some truly unexpected places"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: Netflix’s answer to The Twilight Zone and it’s like nothing else on TV right now (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: Lyonne still dazzles us with her wild take on humanity, but the narrative this season is a bit more muddled. A bit more messy. The way life so often is."	POS
United States	Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: Natasha Lyonne travels through time and generations for a wild and soul-stirring second season"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: if the end result is a good bit messier than the 2018 edition, the level of ambition, and the pleasure of being back in Nadia’s company, more than makes up for it (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: Lyonne has delivered seven episodes that are more personal and take bigger intellectual risks than anything in the initial run."	POS
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 of Russian Doll embraces this sloppiness, this disorderliness of life (...) it’s the looseness and free-flowing exploration of the past that makes this season so remarkable"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"The show is so striking and smart that I made a note to include it on my favorite TV shows of 2019 immediately (...) It’s meticulously constructed"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying, ultimately satisfying (...) It's formulaic in moments, but so tartly observed and absurd that the familiarity rarely bothered me."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"It’s eight short, acerbic, wittily profound episodes with a richly satisfying ending(s) (...) Lean and snappily paced"	POS
United States	Alec Bojalad Den of Geek	"It’s remarkable to watch [Lyonne] (...) find all the little emotional nooks and crannies in Nadia and believably guide her through such an unbelievable situation (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"A cerebral yet propulsive eight-episode dramedy (...) 'Russian Doll' uses Nadia’s trajectory to pose questions that are spiritual rather than narrative."	POS
United States	Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker	"Scene by scene, it finds raw, affecting themes about mortality and grieving, and it has some legitimately cool plot twists (...) [Lyonne] finally gets a role worthy of her magnetism"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"It’s a delightful blend of 'Groundhog Day' and your favorite Noah Baumbach film (...) Much of the fun of the series (...) is in its surprises (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Willa Paskin Slate	"'Russian Doll' has a complete and satisfying ending (...) [It] knows there’s power in recurrence"	POS
