Fancy a lost weekend?

It’s been a bit of a fallow week Tv-wise, so I asked my daughter, who’s 19, for a recommendation. She chose Russian Doll (Netflix), starring Natasha Lyonne (above) and Chloë Sevigny. The first series came out in 2019; the second premiered this April. It’s one of the strangest concepts: Lyonne plays a time-travelling, chain-smoking party girl of

Jewish extraction. But it’s also strangely compelling, or at least I found it so. If you enjoy dark, twisted comedy and love a good soundtrack, then this could be your lost weekend.
