The Undoing - Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman

Lisagran

I found the ending a big disappointment. Won’t spoil it for anyone still to watch it, but, for me, the last episode didn’t live up to the intrigue and drama presented in the previous episodes.

I too was disappointed after all the red herrings but I think that was the point, we're used to intricate endings, the one who was up the Amazon when the deed was done is usually the guilty party.

Donald Sutherland was great. Fantastic part when he berated the headmaster of his grandson's school.
I loved him in Don't Look Now

Two of my favorite Sutherland characters:

Mr Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Oddball in Kelly's Heroes- ?

Yes, Atqui, the blonde friend mentioned the husband’s lack of remorse / narcissism, etc to the prosecution after being asked to by the wife when they went for an early morning walk together

I wish we could get it - sounds brilliant. If only to see Donald Sutherland.
He's only a year older than me - never forget his part as Hawkeye in Mash. Elliott Gould as Trapper.

Watched the lasr eoisode last night on NowTv. excellent

Just an example of how you don't have to have surgery to stay in the industry. You do however have to be prepared to accept roles where you don't always look your best and not be just a pretty face .

Did the blonde woman tell the prosecution about Jonathan’s narcissism?
Agree about Nicole Kidman- she is 53 and looks about 20

I think you are right Lisa. I was being dense.

I’m confused now!

I wondered that, kitty . I think perhaps trisher’s just making a general observation about an actress that has aged well, without surgery?

Oh flip. Sorry trisher! I realised as I posted what you meant!!

Did I miss her?

I just wondered why you would hide a hammer in a fireplace when there was a whole ocean for it!
Helen Mirren has aged so well

Imagine though feeling that in order to continue doing the job that you love you have to undergo surgery !
It’s a crazy industry.
There were so many Red Herrings, we were quite disappointed when they revealed who did it.
I can’t see a 12 year old managing to sneak a huge hammer into a dishwasher unnoticed, twice!
IAnd why all the Nicole Kidman and the victim in flashbacks, what was that all about ? plus the oil painting.....
Hmm, suspend belief indeed.

GrandmasueUK, I agree.she’s a pretty woman, but ruined her face with too much plastic surgery. I just dont get it. Similar to Beverly Callard (celebrity jungle) . So much plastic surgery she can hardly move her face. Ridiculous lips, silly looking cheekbones. And they actually pay to look like this??

I enjoyed this but I'm very distracted by Nicole's extremely smooth face. It looks as though she has a layer of wax on it. She's had work done, not too much but I feel as though she has lost all the expression in her face. Hugh, on the other hand has a very expressive face!

I must say that as it progressed we were both saying Get on with it! but of course having invested the time, continued to watch in order to find out whodunit. I thought the ending was rather predictable (the final scene).

I found the ending a big disappointment. Won’t spoil it for anyone still to watch it, but, for me, the last episode didn’t live up to the intrigue and drama presented in the previous episodes.

Gosh this new thriller is good so far - episode 2 last night. Hugh Grant really seems to be coming into his own as an actor i recent years and it is good to NK with with her lovely naturally curly hair left to its own devices (mostly!).

Pity it's only on Sky.

Anyone else watching it?

It's also on NOW TV. Free trial for one week . Don't forget to cancel it before the subscription kicks in.

We enjoyed it and I loved the coats! One would have to be a bean pole to carry them off though - not a sack of spuds like me!

I wondered that. Kate1949

Can't imagine allowing young children into court

Maybe they do in USA

Do they let children into courts in America to listen to that awful evidence? A bit of trivia. The boy who plays the son is the son of the actress who played Julie in Coronation Street

A rather silly story which might have been gripping but which had so many holes in it you could have driven a bus through them. The defence sticking her up for cross examination at the last minute for example. Defence lawyers spend hours questioning and cross examining their witnesses before they use them. As for the sculpture hammer, well the dishwasher would have been completely wrecked with the weight of it. And did no one notice him carrying the heavy violin case about with his violin in his hand?

Excellent. Hugh Grant is a great serious actor, quite underrated.
