The Undoing: the blossoming of Hugh Grant's career!

Nowadays it's more and more popular among film producers to create TV series based on bestselling novels. If you create a show based on a famous book, you can be sure that it will attract the fans of the story and the rest of the viewers who will probably watch your series encouraged by advertising...

That's the key to the success of HBO. In recent years this TV network has been offering many interesting TV series based on bestselling books to its viewers. Game of Thrones, Big little lies, The Handmaid's Tale: these are just a few examples of HBO recognizable productions and they are all based on books!

The Undoing, the TV show I would like to recommend to you today, is a part of that list.

What is The Undoing about?


Grace, the main character played by an amazing Nicole Kidman, lives in New York with her husband and son. Her life seems perfect: she's intelligent, beautiful, rich, her husband loves her deeply and her son makes her proud. The family lives in Manhattan, Grace's son goes to an elite school. Grace is a successful therapist and her husband (played by Hugh Grant) works as a pediatric oncologist. Grace is so proud of her husband who seems to be such a responsible and sensitive man. She's really happy.

However, one day her perfect life falls into pieces. Her husband turns out to be unfaithful. He's been cheating on Grace with the mother of their son's friend. The situation seems a mess but it's just the beginning of Grace's problems. The same day Grace realizes her husband is a liar, his mistress is brutally murdered. And Grace's husband becomes the prime suspect!

Is it possible to defend someone who turned out to be a cheater and a liar? Grace is hurt and devastated but she knows her husband, she can't believe he's guilty. Despite the pain she feels, she tries to help her husband detained by police. After all, they have a child together and that makes Grace's situation even harder.

That's why Grace keeps helping her husband until the day she discovers a terrible truth about her spouse's past...

The Undoing seems to be just another TV series about betrayal, murder and family secrets. But it's so much more thanks to its cast!

Nicole Kidman as Grace is simply stunning (just like all her coats she wears in this show) and brilliant. Hugh Grant on the other hand has proved to us that he's capable of playing complex and disturbing characters. I could say that Hugh Grant from the 1990s is gone. He's no longer a charming klutz from Four Weddings and a Funeral. Grant's career is evolving and developing in a very interesting direction. And this is one of the reasons why you should definitely watch "The Undoing".

Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons... And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent! Source: m.imdb.com Actually, Michelle Dockery plays Letty, the main character of Good Behavior. Letty is a very complicated woman in her thirties. The series starts when she gets out of prison. She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out ...

Although this blog is dedicated to TV series, sometimes I must make an exception for your own good! That's why today I will recommend you a fantastic Netflix production that appeared on this site at the end of December 2020... I decided to do it because some movies simply cannot be missed. Death to 2020 is a mockumentary created in collaboration with world-famous comedians. Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson - these are just a few actors starring in this one-hour documentary. The idea of the creators of Death to 2020 was to give people a reason to laugh, summing up a year that turned our lives upside down.  Source: netflixcenter.com The global pandemic and its consequences, political scandals, mass protests, natural disasters are the main themes of this mockumentary. At this point, you are probably wondering how it was possible to mock such a dramatic and catastrophic events? Believe me - the creators of Death to 2020 did the impossible.

The Flight Attendant and Kaley Cuoco in a brand-new role

For every fan of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco will stay Penny forever. However, time doesn't stand still. New TV series are released every day and every actor dreams of making his mark in film history with more than a role in a sitcom...  Cuoco was given an opportunity to change her image - and she took it. That's why we can all watch her playing the main role in a new HBO TV series: The Flight Attendant.  Source: en.martincid.com This production is an adaptation of the book of the same title written by Chris Bohjlian.  Cuoco plays the main character - Cassandra - an American flight attendant and a reckless alcoholic. Escaping from responsibilities, self-indulgence, and addiction – that's Cassie's whole life. As we can guess, that doesn't help her making good life choices. One day, during a flight to Bangkok, Cassie meets a very handsome guy. Already in Bangkok, she spends a night with him. The next day, she wakes up in his bed in a hotel room... and the handsom...
