Darkly hilarious and heartrendingly touching, Russian Doll's first season created some big questions that need answers. The main character, Nadia (Natasha Lyonne), a software engineer celebrating her 36th birthday at a friend's apartment, leaves the party for a one-night-stand, and afterward, she gets hit by a car and dies. After dying, she finds herself back at her birthday party earlier that night. Nadia reacts with some confusion at first but seems willing to let it go as a strange, likely drug-induced experience until it happens again.

Nadia discovers that no matter what she does, within a day or so from leaving the party, she dies and immediately restarts, alive, back in her friend's apartment at her birthday party. Russian Doll feels like a dark update on the Groundhog Day story, and it brilliantly adds several twists. By the middle of the first season, Nadia's met Alan, someone who is also repeatedly dying, and together they attempt to break the cycle they're trapped in.

With that, here's a few questions we hope get answered in season two!

What Are Alan and Nadia to Each Other?

Nadia and Alan (Charlie Barnett) are quickly established as very different people -- a detail that helps them to determine that they aren't simply in hell. But after the two decide to work together to figure their way out of the situation, they begin to discover that they live in a small world. Nadia and Alan have a friend in common, and Nadia was intimate with the man who Alan's girlfriend is cheating on him with.

But why them? Nadia and Alan do get intimate at one point, but their night together ends badly when Nadia leaves before Alan wakes up, and Alan cleans her apartment while she's gone. But is that it? Were they just supposed to help each other break the cycle? Are they supposed to be more than friends? What does it mean that this happened to both of them and, as far as they know, only them?

Are There Multiple Timelines?

After Nadia is accidentally killed by the character who raised her, she finds herself wondering if the rest of the world continues after each death. She's concerned each death is another timeline, and her friends have to mourn her in each one. Nadia's horrified by the idea that this person she loves has to live on with the guilt of having killed Nadia, even if it's just in one separate timeline.

But are Nadia and Alan jumping from timeline to timeline at the point of their deaths? It's not impossible to imagine; each cycle seems slightly different. Or is each cycle different because only they're changing the timeline? Are they even in a timeline anymore? By the end of the season, things have gotten pretty weird to be just another timeline, so where are they?

Why Do the Cycles Change?

From the very first time Nadia dies, the fish begin to disappear from the fishbowls. All fruit starts to rot on the outside, but no one notices except Nadia and Alan. As mirrors begin to disappear, so do people. Nadia and Alan decide that they can escape the cycles if they can recreate the first night they died and help each other so that the deaths don't happen. But the closer they get to achieving this, the harder it becomes. Nadia starts seeing a vision of her younger self, and when she sees her, Nadia dies from internal injuries, and Alan does too. Why are the cycles forcing her to face her past?

Did Nadia and Alan Find Each Other?

Eventually, Nadia and Alan break out of their cycles, but when they try to find each other afterward, Nadia finds an Alan who doesn't remember who she is. Meanwhile, Alan finds a Nadia who doesn't remember him either.

For a heartbreaking episode, the Nadia and Alan who remember the cycles, plead with the Alan and Nadia who don't remember to remember them. Though the memories don't seem to return, the Nadia and Alan who have forgotten at least decide to take them seriously, and their lives are saved. All four of them participate in a parade of homeless people -- and the audience watches both versions of Nadia cross paths. Was this a moment where they recombined? Or are all the versions of Nadia and Alan still separate? Will the versions of Nadia and Alan that remember each other ever meet again?

Nadia and Alan and whether they truly find each other is the most pressing issue at the end of the season. But that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of other twists and turns that had the audience asking, "Well, what about THAT?" Whether it was Nadia's obsession with Emily Of The New Moon, or that Nadia seemed to be familiar with the character of Horse from the very beginning despite not being sure from where, or the fact Nadia designed a game that players considered impossible to win -- there were many threads left quite pulled by the end of the first season.

Hopefully, season two answers at least a few of the questions audiences are dying to have answered! See it on Netflix coming soon.
