If this had been a show starring and created by men he likely would have written more. Even “woke” men don’t see how they dismiss work created by women. But lots of other people who appreciate a take on mortality and the neighborhood and the ongoing distress of having a dysfunctional parent did watch and have gotten a lot out of the experience of watching Russian Doll.

They have millions of followers on there and and want people guessing and theorizing. Natasha was not part of that era she was not around and was pretty huge as a star then and likely didn't care about a park being closed. She did not squat or go to shows she acted in Hollywood films and then got into drugs in that park. I am not annoyed about the theories I just think they are not based on anything. If a celeb tweeted the show is about aliens and the new world order I think they would say " get out of our heads!" haha.. Its LalaWood. Yeah I enjoyed seeing Horse being used in it and Liza Colby has a band the Liza Colby Sound who are great and everyone should check out. They play locally all the time. That show is definitely an "in the know" thing for Natasha and her best friends as they all seem to be in it. I see it as a tribute to herself and her own bad experiences which were very widely publicized. I think Jane magazine ran an article about her antics which was pretty tacky I thought!<br />I did not love it as many did but watched for the hood scenes and to see if she used anyone else I vaguely know haha. Her character was basically Nickles from OITNBlack but at least it was something a bit different and interesting. Would not mind seeing her play something other than an addict/ex addict wise cracking New Yorker with the one liners but the show was okay in my book.

I don't think "Shaw...Yes! To Anon @ 10:39<br /><br />I don't think "Shawn" ever saw the show or cares to, which is fabulous and entertaining by the way. He also fails to realize how this is indeed a series driven and produced by women. What a shocker. Also, what an accomplishment especially during our current social culture of the ME TOO movement and beyond where women have not been afforded the same opportunities, voice and exposure as their straight white male counterparts. I am delighted they filmed here in Alphabet City. It is imperative to have more programming from a feminine perspective. It cuts through the bullshit and the toxic masculinity of show business that has been shoved down our throats. Can't wait for Season 2. Go Natasha! Good for her. What a comeback.

Also her friend Liza Colby a nice musician who lived by Ave C had the cameo with the dog at the end. I personally don’t think she is writing about the riots she was busy making film after film as that was her heyday. Before she went down a dark path. I assumed the show was mainly about her own rocky road back to fame as at one point everyone assumed she would just die any day. Never heard her say or tweet a thing about neighborhood politics esp since her bestie is Chloe Sevigny who is also in the show and a controversial neighborhood celeb with her brother and his bars and all that stuff. People are reaching with these theories I think.

I remember the production crew, cast, and craft services were stationed for weeks across the street and around Tompkins Square. While it was annoying to have our neighborhood resemble that of a Hollywood soundstage, it is nice to witness the fished product. <br /><br />One of the best parts of Russian Doll is the writing. The talented actors bring it to life on the screen. It has courage, depth, humor, self-deprecation, sadness, mortality, love, and reckoning. And it's set in our lovely hood. I highly recommend it :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
