    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That was terrible! Let's make it obvious who the killer is, then throw in a bunch of red herrings and misdirection, finish it off with who we pretty much knew would be the killer. What a waste!… Expand

    “The Undoing” is not subtle, which at first I didn’t mind. The pilot episode hit the exact pleasure center between mild critique and life-style porn. ... At least [“Little Fires Everywhere”] makes an attempt to contend with some of the questions of race and class that it raises. In “The Undoing,” such questions are made irrelevant.

    Initially it lacked the bitchy bite of Big Little Lies. Kidman's character seemed too bland and nicey-nicey to intrigue. Grant's performance outshone hers. ... Then it started to ripen. ... Kidman's eyeswivelling was off the charts as Grace's perfect life looked to be unravelling. Tasty. Again we seem to be gazing at the dark, maggoty underbelly of wealth and privilege. I'm definitely in.

    Where Big Little Lies found a distinctive voice, The Undoing’s various virtuoso sections never quite play in concert.
