I am reviewing the 7th episode of the American comedy-drama streaming television series "Russian Doll". The series premiered on Netflix. I was fascinated by the series and the imagination of creators.

Actors for the series were chosen very wisely. The main role of Nadia - a woman who becomes trapped by most unusual circumstances, was played by Natasha Lyonne. She was perfect for the role because she was able to perfectly express the spunk, bitterness and the hidden tenderness. Also the side roles played by Charlie Barnett and Greta Lee helped seeding the big ideas and twists, that didn't remain on the fringes of the story.

When you think that the show might run out of it's juice, the episode "The way out" reveals more surprising metaphors. In this episode Nadia is haunted by her younger self which leads her to open up about her deepest fears. She finally confronts them as if fixing the allegory of "Bug in the code". Moreover, it reveals the mystery about parallel universes and the fruits.

To sum up, I really liked the series because of amazing actors and hidden twists and metaphors in the plot which made the whole situation even more compelling. That's why I would rate it a 5/5 score.

This show and especially this episode is one of the best things I've ever watched. As somebody who considers herself pretty immune to anything horror, episode seven surprised me with how much it terrified me. This episode delves into Nadia's past trauma and Alans refusals to acknowledge his issues. Specifically, with the use of flashbacks, we see Nadia's mom very prominently. The episode starts with Nadia and her mother shopping. It's made clear that her mother is on a bit of a mental break and is going around every store purchasing every available watermelon. I feel like it's a really interesting way to show how she cares for Nadia. Meanwhile, Alan is trying to figure out how he died the very first time. He finds that he committed suicide and goes on a bit of a spiral, realizing that he truly does need help. Overall, I enjoyed and recommend this episode and series.

A good ending to this episode here, but I was not crazy about the flashbacks. I feel like it is a little late in the game to give us something like this and I have to also wonder if it will really come into play.

Does this have anything to do with what is going on? I doubt it.
