For a time it seems that we may be watching a story, like “Groundhog Day” or “Russian Doll,” where the universe pranks a person into getting right with themselves and the world; and while her unfortunate situation will force Ruby to face her self-centered, self-destructive behaviors, mere enlightenment isn’t likely to turn the spigot off.

The “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face” star has portrayed plenty of stoners in her career, and she does again as Rachel, who spends her aimless days betting on sports.

At a time when she is very busy as a producer, director, writer and showrunner on projects such as “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face,” there is still something satisfying for Lyonne in acting in someone else’s project — just to be, in her words, “like a Traveling Wilbury or something. I’m just out here being a session musician and the gig is to service the idea as best you can. I love to be a part of watching somebody make their thing.”

‘We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we’re still talking all the time,’ said ‘Russian Doll’ star Natasha Lyonne.

Created by Leslye Headland, who co-created the Netflix series “Russian Doll,” “The Acolyte” takes place roughly 100 years before the events of 1999’s “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace,” during a period known as the High Republic era.
