The Undoing (2020)

The Undoing is a tense, stylish six-episode limited series — part psychological thriller, part courtroom mystery — that follows Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman), a successful New York therapist whose carefully constructed life unravels after a violent death and the sudden disappearance of her husband (Hugh Grant). As shocking revelations and secrets surface, Grace is forced to confront the possibility that she never really knew the man she married and to protect her young son amid an escalating public scandal. Watching the series you’ll get a slow-burning, tightly plotted "whodunnit" that mixes investigative suspense with a character-driven drama: glossy Manhattan settings and elite social circles collide with grim publicity, police probes, and high-stakes courtroom scenes. The show keeps you guessing with twists and unreliable narratives while probing themes of trust, privilege, marital deceit, and the costs of appearances. Strong performances (especially Kidman and Grant), moody direction, and a smartly structured mystery make it absorbing and often unsettling — it’s the kind of show that compels discussion and re-evaluation of what you thought you knew as each episode unfolds. Note: mature themes, violence, and intense emotional scenes.
