The Undoing follows "Grace Sachs, who is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. She’s a successful therapist on the brink of publishing her first book, has a devoted husband and young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. Weeks before her book is published, a chasm opens in her life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.

The Undoing is an upcoming American drama miniseries, based on the novel You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz, that is set to premiere on HBO. The series stars Nicole Kidman who is also set to executive produce alongside David E. Kelley, Susanne Bier, Per Saari, and Bruna Papandrea. Kelley is also set to write and showrun the series and Bier is expected to direct. The miniseries is set to premiere in May 2020.

The Undoing stars Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Noah Jupe, Donald Sutherland, Edgar Ramirez, Lily Rabe, Ismael Cruz Cordova and Matilda De Angelis.

"It took me over a week to force myself to finish this. "You should have known" is an understatement. I knew I was going to give a bad review. I felt it was necessary to finish before judging.

Third person POV was actually first person. The narrator had the worst case of ADHD I've ever witnessed. You know those people that take an hour to tell a story because they have trouble focusing? To top it off, the crap the narrator speaks of is absurdly boring and contributes nothing to the story.

The story is predictable. The time line is completely out of whack in the third section. She speaks of events in past and present in the same sentence. It's very frustrating.

Grace should have been the murder victim. People as stupid as her deserve what they get.

It was unbelievably unrealistic. There was zero character development. The minimal dialogue throughout the story was pointless. The narrator conveys important details by completely avoiding the situation or rather, speaking in circles.

This novel should be read by anyone who wants to write. It covers every item on the do not do list. Show, don't tell. And please, don't ramble."

The Undoing | Official Teaser | HBO

Flyttad till hösten pga av Covid 19

Vad är vitsen med det? En biopremiär fattar man ju att man skjuter på, men en tv-serie? Den lär väl fler titta på hemma i karantäntristessen?

Ska inte svära på detta men flera av höstens serier som skulle ha sänts är inte färdigproducerade och kommer förmodligen inte hinna bli det så det är nog HBO sätt att fylla ut höstsäsongen med något än inget alls.

Så kan det vara, låter rimligt.

Med tanke på skådespelarna som är med (Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland) så ser serien intressant ut

Regissören till serien är danska Susanne Bier som även regisserat: Livet är en schlager, Hämnden (2010), Bird Box mfl

Dark deeds cannot be concealed. The Undoing begins October 25 on HBO and HBO Max

Avsnitt ett ute nu, någon som sett ?

Ja. Den påminner ju en del om Big Little Lie men känns som en något sämre utförd serie i alla aspekter. Än så länge ändå sevärd.

Ja, den påminner en del om BLL, men har hittills (efter tre avsnitt) varit bättre på många sätt. Mindre småaktivistiskt "kvinnoperspektiv" och Hem & Skola-intriger samt mer deckargåta och mindre såpa.
Fina NYC-miljöer också.

Tycker dock Edgar Ramirez är lite för trist som polisen, och mordoffret saknar den femme fatale-utstrålning som man kanske väntat sig. Å andra sidan på något sätt sympatiskt med en så pass "nedtonad" casting, med undantag då för Kidman som står ut på alla sätt.
