Recently a mini-series on HBO called The Undoing starring Hugh Grant and Donald Sutherland had its season finale.
It has a captivating plot surrounding the affair between Jonathan Sachs (Hugh Grant) and Elena Alves (Matilda de Angelis) as well as her eventual murder. The classic “who done it” dives into every possible suspect and creates a riveting ride for the viewers.
The acting of the whole cast is superb, especially the young Noah Jupe, the 15-year-old who plays Henry Sachs. He is such a capable actor and was instrumental in developing the plot.
I really enjoyed how the narrative structure and editing made you believe that a different person killed Elena every episode. This series was full of red herrings which made for an extremely interesting and engaging viewer experience.
This show is not for everyone though. It is violent and has brief moments of nudity. However it is expertly crafted and extremely entertaining. I definitely recommend watching it. You won’t regret it.
