February Picks: The Movies and Shows You Can't Miss2 of 11
"Russian Doll" | Premieres Friday, Feb. 1 on Netflix
I'm a sucker for a time-loop trope in any incarnation, be it the classic Groundhog Day variety, or the sci-fi spin in Edge of Tomorrow. So obviously, I can't wait for the new Netflix series "Russian Doll," an eight-episode saga starring (and co-created by) Natasha Lyonne ("Orange Is the New Black"). Like Groundhog Day, it's darkly comedic, exploring one woman's attempts to escape from a party being thrown in her honor, with her actions always leading to death. Will she break the cycle? How quickly will I binge-watch this series? All will be answered on February 1. — Vanessa
