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".
