Paulina Andreeva stars in the new Netflix series Better Than Us but just who is she?
To keep ahead of the competition, Netflix is expanding its horizons and is offering some truly intriguing foreign content on its streaming service lately.
From the likes of Dollar to Cable Girls, there’s a growing list of foreign shows and films that are making their way onto the global streaming service in order to diversify and expand its audience.
The latest show, to originate outside the typically US content base is the Russian-made show Better Than Us, which basically acts as a prequel to the original Blade Runner, telling its story before the androids turned on their human creators.
One star in the show has been gaining some attention for their role in the series, Paulina Andreeva, but what else has the Russian actress appeared in?
What is Better Than Us about?
As mentioned, Better Than Us almost acts as a prequel to the classic 1983 film Blade Runner as it focuses on a model of android that, despite beliefs that they’re a soulless husk, has actually developed feelings, empathy and independent thought.
The series explores just what it means to be human as it puts these android characters through different situations that test their humanity.
For fans of the original Blade Runner and its sequel 2049, this sounds like a fascinating watch.
Who is Paulina Andreeva and who does she play?
Paulina Andreeva is a 30-year-old Russian actress who stars in Better Than Us as the aforementioned androids.
As all of the androids on show are the same model, Andreeva gets a lot of work in the show, performing as multiple robots as they discover more about themselves and the world they inhabit.
What else has Paulina Andreeva been in?
Being a Russian actress, there has been little to no opportunity for Paulina Andreeva to make a name for herself in Western film and TV culture but she will be no doubt hoping that the added eyes that Netflix brings to the Better Than Us series will potentially lead to more prominent roles in future.
She began her acting career in the 2009 series Shalnoy Angel. Nope, we haven’t heard of it either.
Her career highlights to date also include roles in the shows Ottepel, Spyashchie and The Method according to IMDb, all of which are Russian-made.
But without doubt, thanks to the exposure given to it by Netflix, Paulina Andreeva’s biggest role to date has come in Better Than Us.
Could we be seeing the Russian actress in more shows on Netflix in future?
Meanwhile, Better Than Us, which dropped on Netflix on August 16th, is available to stream now.
