RussianDoll's second season is all about letting go of the past and embracing your found family.
At the climax of the second season of Netflix’s time-looping-and-hopping dramedy Russian Doll, Nadia is asked this question by an out-of-time version of her mother, Lenora , whose early death has torn at the seams of Nadia’s time-space continuum. That question — what would we choose if we had the chance to choose again — powers Russian Doll’s second season, a deep and chaotic exploration of the past and how the things and people we can’t change shape us into who we are.
When Lenora asks now-grown Nadia if she'd choose her as her mother, Nadia is clutching the infant version of herself in a subway car with time collapsing around them. Nadia looks around the car and sees her grandmother, both young and old; her own self as both an infant and an adolescent; and two versions of Ruth , her mother’s dear friend and another maternal force in Nadia’s life. Would she?
By the end of the season, Nadia understands that her mother's question is the wrong question, and that Lenora doesn’t have the answers to the right one. “I didn’t choose you the first time, but I guess that’s just how the story goes, Mom,” she answers tearfully, looking around the train with newfound empathy at the women who made her who she is: two Veras, two Ruths, two versions of her own younger self, and the lone figure of Lenora around whom all these women orbit.
