Or 'Command Z' as Q calls it.
Did Hugh Grant kill his ex lover? Wife Nicole Kidman isn't sure either way, whilst various friends and investigating detectives behave annoyingly. Cut to - six hours later.
With the still great Donald Sutherland, Noah Jupe (son), Edgar Ramirez (Carlos the Jackal; lead detective), Lily Rabe (lawyer friend), Matilda de Angelis (the victim), Ismael Cruz Cordova (her husband), Noma Dumezwemi (defence barrister; lots of British TV including Capital), Sofie Grabol, Janel Moloney (West Wing) & Douglas Hodge as some kind of investigator. And this points out a couple of things. The Janel character is a non-part, and the Hodge one just disappears and we're left wondering why he was in it at all.
It was written in such a way that you end up suspecting everyone, wanting to know what happened, but ultimately not really caring about anyone in it. Grant continues his great second career. It's stylishly made by Bier, cameraman Antony Dod Mantle and editor Ben Lester.
When I saw that first clip of Ramirez sticking her junk in Kidman's face I thought 'This is going to be crap'. Well, it wasn't crap, but it wasn't very good really. Still have no idea what 'The Undoing' is supposed to mean. It was adapted from a novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz called - ironically - 'You Should Have Known'!
A Sky Atlantic production.
