there Are the fish that are disappearing from the aquarium? The coke in the Joint of your best friend? Or Nadia is landed simply in purgatory? Any cause must have it that they break their Neck constantly, drowning, death by fire dies, or just gets run over, and then again in front of the mirror in the bathroom to show up, while in front of the door, your 36. Birthday is watered.
The new Netflix series matryoshka combines the contemporary feel of New York-based Sitcoms with the structure of time loop movies like And guess. In it, Bill Murray was driven as a gefrusteter weather frog from the clock radio with Sonny and cher’s “I Got You Babe” in the madness – Nadia’s horror trip always begins with Harry Nilsson’s a bouncy “Gotta Get Up”. But that also fits into the corset of eight 30-minute episodes?
Yes, it fits. An important factor in this main actress Natasha Lyonne. In its previously prominent role, she drove as nimble-tongued, Heroin-Junkie Nicky Nichols in the prison series “Orange is the New Black” of their Mitinsassinnen on the mouth. Matryoshka almost feels like a reunion with this figure.
the Painful road to the Interior
Nadia works as a programmer at a major game developer. Therefore, it is not lost entirely, as the mystery of the time loop increasingly developed the role-playing game. The first episode tracks: The homeless, the stands in the New York Winter without shoes puts plenty of. The runaway cat that is find it again. And finally, the guy with the engagement ring, the one with her in a crashing Elevator safe in death, contrary to grid – and just as annoyed from the constant Dying like you. The playful camera and the restless-section (Director: Leslye Headland) miss the Whole pace; the time-loop concept does not have to be running always in the same rhythm and makes each individual loop about the consequences. So matryoshka remains highly exciting.
And then there is the eponymous Russian doll. How the toy more and more, ever-smaller versions of its self-refer, to strip the series with each new facets of the main character. Nadia’s time loop takes you on a painful journey into her inner self. What starts out as a Comedy, takes an increasingly grim turn.
actress Lyonne has developed, with the Saturday Night Live veteran Amy Poehler is also the idea for the series and was involved in the rotary books. The Experiment was a success – a Highlight of the young series of the year.
