People are raving about a Netflix series, and it' 97 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes backs up the positive reviews.

Netflix has over 2,500 TV series and, while choice is great, sometimes having too much choice can be an problem as well.

We've all endlessly scrolled through the streaming platform in a bid to find the perfect show, but fellow TV fans have done the hard work for you and found your next watch.

With the buckets of content Netflix adds to its service on a weekly basis, there's a chance you might have missed some of its old (but gold) content — one example being this series from 2019.

Called Russian Doll, the series stars Orange is the New Black favorite Natasha Lyonne.

The synopsis for the series, as per IMDb, reads: "A cynical young woman in New York City keeps dying and returning to the party that's being thrown in her honor on that same evening. She tries to find a way out of this strange time loop."

Anyone else getting Groundhog Day vibes?

Season one dropped in 2019, with a second following suit in 2022.

In the years since its debut, people have taken to Rotten Tomatoes to rave about Russian Doll, with one viewer hailing it as 'hidden gem'.

Giving it five stars, they penned: "Bit of a 'hidden' gem in the way that I've never heard anyone really talk about it even though it's been on Netflix's front page.

"Witty, thoughtful, great acting and dialogues. I went in with no expectations and happily surprised."

Another said of the show: "This mind bending comedy-drama is as addictive to watch as it is cleverly twisted, in all the best ways though."

Someone else gushed about Russian Doll and Lyonne's performance, writing: "Probably the most impressive TV show I'd seen in a long time. Excellent writing and Natasha Lyonne is amazing."

Further noting that Russian Doll hasn't been on people's radars enough, a different reviewer said that it's series 'that deserves way more recognition'.

In regards to a third series of the well-loved show, it's yet to be confirmed if it's happening.

Addressing the matter last year, Russian Doll director Leslye Headland told Collider: "I haven't heard anything [about season three happening]."

She went on: "I don't know if it's because Natasha's doing Poker Face now. I don't know if it's gonna become a schedule thing, but I haven't heard anything from Netflix about it."
