Russian Doll 1.03 "A Warm Body"
estrogen could have saved alan
One thing I really love about Russian Doll is that they eliminated any “will they won’t they” tension (because it’s not the point of the show) by just having Nadia and Alan get drunk and fuck nasty a few episodes in. Then, proceed with the plot. These characters were never destined for romance and I love their friendship so so much.
— You got help, right? — I did. I let somebody help me.
Russian Doll.... Um— season three, when?
We can't spend our lives so scared of making the wrong move that… that we never live at all. Don't be so afraid to live. Yeah, I killed myself, so I… I don't really know how to live with that. It all just seems so much easier for everybody else. Am I wrong? RUSSIAN DOLL (2019 - 2022)
Russian Doll really said okay we fixed self-destructive behavior and isolation, let’s tackle intergenerational trauma next
yeahhh Alan barely got any screentime BUT I will admit “I killed myself. I don’t know how to live with that.” got me. like. shit. fuck. how do you forgive yourself for contributing to your own suffering, for hating yourself, for wasting time being miserable, for not knowing what you know now. I think in a way that’s also what Nadia had to do, it wasn’t really about forgiving her mother as much as it was about forgiving herself by realizing she did the best she could to survive under the circumstances, the same as her mother and grandmother and they all deserved better but there was no other way it could have happened. Nadia had a fucked up childhood and she can’t change it but she gets to live now. Alan killed himself but he gets to live now. We suffer by ruminating on all the time we’ve wasted suffering but when we we stop we realize time is meaningless because there’s no other way you could have arrived at where you are now but to let the past happen and break you and change you and push you through the point of no return and even now with all your grief, you are still here, standing and loving and you are you and you get to live now.
