Russian Doll: The Way Out (2019)
Watermelons & trauma
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.
