Groundhog Day with big hair.

Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) is an independent brash, in-your-face New Yorker with hair to match. She loves cats and has a ‘staying dead problem’! Her theories to-date are a mid-life crisis, cocaine or menopause.

This Groundhog Day plot has the potential to become cliché, but the first episode is a strong beginning.
