"(The show) was a behemoth that I never really saw coming. I was thankful to be a part of it," the Russian Doll star tells Digital Spy. "I really was sad to be let go. It broke me for quite a long time. Yeah. It was a blessing in disguise, and they all told me that. You never really see that in life, in general. You never see the bad moments becoming the good. It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be what it was, I think, if you did recognise it for what it is in the moment. So I'm thankful."
