Russian Doll is the perfect Netflix show for our repetitive times

I'm of the opinion that Russian Doll has never felt more relevant than now, at a time when our lives lack variation, and most of us are condemned to look at the same walls, ceilings, and surroundings every single day.It follows a game designer caught in a time loop that doesn't restart at dawn so much as go back to a checkpoint every time she dies - and die she does.

It's not all hopeless, though - it'd be a difficult eight episodes otherwise - and Russian Doll finds a way to make the repetition thrilling, even turning it into a catalyst for change.
