Kidman does most of the heavy lifting here, and not surprisingly, she's terrific.

Even if "The Undoing" finds its way around to acknowledging its rich, white protagonists are bad people - and they definitely are - it's already too late to turn the six-episode series into a scathing censure on privilege.

It's fun to watch Grant in action, dodging our presumptions about his character. Kidman is good, too, if a bit distractingly waxen.
October 23, 2020
Exquisitely written and acted, melding doubt, tension, wit and occasional outright terror into simmering pots of dread.

A bad man getting away with a bad thing? Lawyers obfuscating the wheels of justice? It's all too familiar. And perhaps this is just 2020 talking, but it's a little exhausting, too.

The narrative starts to gel once Kidman begins attempting to navigate the mess her life has become. It's what makes Big Little Lies thrive and The Undoing a good show.

Guided by Susanne Bier's taut direction, the twists keep coming and nothing is quite what it seems.

While beautiful to look at, the show struggles to say something compelling as it's more interested in amplifying the melodrama instead of delving deep into its more interesting subjects.

I'm not going to say any more about what happens in "The Undoing." I don't want to give it away. But Nicole Kidman at the center of it all delivers one of the best and most nuanced roles of her entire career.

The Undoing has undeniably high production values and a top-notch cast, but they're in service of increasingly lackluster and inconsistent storytelling.
October 23, 2020
"The Undoing" is somewhat undone by its dawdling pace.

I was so shocked and riveted that I'm counting the days until I can see how it all ends in that final chapter. Exactly how a great page-turner is supposed to work.
