Did he or didn't he? - The Undoing review by MP
Intriguing. Did he do it, or didnt he?
It did keep me guessing for quite a while.
Hugh Grant did a very good job of sucking you in with his charm offensive. Nicole Kidman looked very beautiful, but was stilted in her performance.
Donald Sutherland added much gravitas.
An enjoyable watch.

Much ado about not quite enough - The Undoing review by JL
Over-written and overly melodramatic. To give credit where it's due, though, the six long episodes knew how to play with our expectations and keep us amused as likely blame for the murder swept all over the place, from one individual to another. So far, so good. But the entire piece was ludicrously over-long. A friend joined us at the halfway point (after three hour-long chapters) and hadn't really missed anything that mattered. The eventual guilty party was as predictable as several others (so not a staggering Agatha Christie-style surprise) but the playing out of the denouement did manage to wrong-foot us. It was even more melodramatic than we expected. So congrats for that.

No. - The Undoing review by SR
Melodramatic, obvious. Hugh literally chews the scenery. Poor Nicole, what has she done to her face, she can't emote naturally and has to pull strange expressions to compensate. Time waster. Just no.
