Grace Fraser becomes intrigued by a young mother at her
... More son’s school. Later, news of a tragedy rocks the school community.LessNicole Kidman leads this six-episode limited series from director Susanne Bier (After the Wedding, TV's The Night Manager) and writer David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) about a New York therapist whose life is upended when she's entangled in a murder investigation. Co-stars Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland and Edgar Ramírez (American Crime Story).
An always watchable murder mystery, it never becomes completely gripping, neither a nuanced study of a wealthy family falling apart or a trashy melodrama where Nicole Kidman loses it over six episodes..
Full reviewThe Undoing has the potential to be more substantive than it is, and it's a little disappointing that it isn't. Still, it offers a moody sense of atmosphere, a welcome reminder of New York's pre-pandemic days,
Full reviewThis should all be sexily entertaining, and even fun, with Kidman and Hugh Grant playing Grace and Jonathan, and Kelley supplying the banter they exchange around the townhouse kitchen island. And for one episode it is.

Full reviewThe Undoing is beautiful — the people, the locations, the coats! — and we’re all apt to cut beautiful things a little slack. Through all of the misdirects, the characters’ dumb decisions, the dreamy detours, The Undoing kept me guessing — and, of course, gloating over everyone’s misfortune.
Full reviewThe new HBO limited series is, to no one’s surprise, ably acted and handsomely made. ... It’s just a shame that it couldn’t resist those [true crime] clichés to become something much more powerful than just another case of the week.
Full reviewA glacially paced, frustratingly scattered and stubbornly uninteresting drama that’s one of the most disappointing shows I’ve seen all year.
Full reviewThe Undoing: Season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Neon.
