New HBO series “The Undoing

[Aneeda72]

OMGosh this is really good. If you are looking for a really good murder mystery to watch this is it. Anyone else watching it?

Me, me, I'm watching it! Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant (sigh).

Thanks, I will bring this to the attention of my wife. She is "on the prowl" for something new these days.

Yup, I can never remember names. I am so invested in it, I find it riveting.

Saw the final episode an hour ago, but won't spoil it for you @Aneeda72 and others in your time zone! Was good. Very good.

Disappointing ending.

I don't have HBO but a friend of mine is watching and she briefly commented about it on Facebook. I gathered she's really into it.

OK, so I saw the end of it, finally. (It was a relief!) I agree with fmdog, the ending was disappointing. But I thought the whole series was phony, ridiculously unbelievable, and poorly acted and directed. How many times do we have to watch an expressionless Nicole Kidman walking down the street?

Spoiler alert: I expected a totally different ending, not something as pedestrian and obvious as the one they had. I thought Nicole had done it out of rage, and when her husband was accused, she offered to testify as a character witness for him, deliberately planting doubt as to his innocence. She was supposed to be an expert psychologist, so she would have been skillful at manipulating the jury. He would have been found guilty and given a life sentence, and she would have gotten away with the murder.

I liked the ending. I think it taught that although you have decided you knew the S/0 very well, but yet.............you can never see into someone's thoughts and heart. May think so, but no. If at times we are a big surprise to ourselves, why should we assume we know s/o 100%?

I had a problem, not that Nicole did not know his past, but that it fit so conveniently at just the right moment. Took some of the audience guesswork away.

 

[Aneeda72]

Well, I loved it.

I've been seeing a lot of news abt this in the last week or so.

People were complaining abt the ending and who the killer was? (I just had to delete my comment)
Is that correct?

Totally agree. Plus Hugh Grant was a total disappointment. Yawn.

It got pretty bad reviews. Certainly didn't live up to its hype.

 

[Aneeda72]

I still loved it
