Russian Doll May Be Perfect, But You Won't Be Satisfied The Netflix series is far and away the best original new show of the past two years—but its existential thrust guaranteed that not everyone would be happy with the ending.

After nearly a year struggling to keep her family together—amid Papi's drug dealing, Damon and Ricky's relationship, and Angel's affair with a married Trump employee—Blanca brings everyone home and defeats her rivals in the House of Abundance in the season's final ball.

The story’s nonsense, but there’s something to work with.”It’s not just Barry who’s working against irrelevance—it’s the community of artists he’s surrounded himself with, all of whom are similarly trying to make something, anything, of their lives.That, essentially, is the gist and genius of the show, which belongs to a new, more morose and deadly serious stripe of comedy.

The show, which is written and directed by Crook (best known as Gareth from The Office, which you can also watch in a single weekend), won a BAFTA for Best Scripted Comedy yet also manages to be surprisingly moving… even if it moves at a delightfully glacial pace.Time Requirement: 9.5 hoursWhere to Stream It: Acorn TV, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix,One MississippiTig Notaro can’t be stopped.
