Watching Russian Doll. I can tell it’s objectively good and a sort of refined Woody Allen style take on the Groundhog Day premise, but.... I suspect I may be too firmly middlebrow in my TV tastes to enjoy this.

Me too, but I think I like mine significantly more cartoony. https://twitter.com/nash/status/1282915393091362818?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Nash/status/1282915393091362818 …

Shit, this once again proves I like my fiction very cartoonish. I think
@niftynei was first to spot this. Rich and nuanced character development loses me. Trying to think of any non-cartoonish story with realistic characters that I’ve liked, and failing. Wonder what this means.Show this thread -
The most complex fictional character I’ve ever liked is probably Pip from Great Expectations maybe? I can handle greater complexity, but only in impressionistic slices, like most other Dickens characters.

Also why I like twitter. You’re all basically cartoons on here. On twitter nobody can tell if you’re a cartoon irl.

Now that I think of it, most complex characters are not actually complex but channels for complex environments. Like these Russian Doll characters are all versions of “New York.”

Update, finished first season with partial attention (mostly wife was watching, not me). Clever twist at the end, but overall not worth the investment for me.
