Batty67The Undoing?
No thread on this show on HBO? Pretty damn good, and well-acted for the most part. My wife and I are enjoying the show.

ChicagoSigManI'm enjoying it so far. I have never liked Hugh Grant, and I find his character here played the exact same as he seems to play every other character he's ever played. Nonetheless, it is a good story done well. Just not used to seeing shows 1 episode per week.

stkfoxSome interesting twists and turns. Wife and I are really enjoying it.

NavyGuyPretty good series. Wife and I both enjoy courtroom dramas with twists and turns. I've got a theory about who-done-it that I proclaimed half way through the second episode. It's still alive and we'll see how it turns out. HBO really puts out some entertaining and well made mini series.

YellowJacketYeah we like it also. Almost goes without saying that it's going to be well-written, well-acted, and well-filmed. HBO is still a cut above everybody else in making quality content, imo.
I like how they are using Grant's charm against him a little bit. Nice casting. I have not seen the latest episode, but Donald Sutherland's character is now our leading suspect.

LS1 GTODonald Sutherland has refined a new character for himself.
The last scene this week was a sheer surprise for us.

NavyGuy***Spoiler.. Go away if you haven't watched yet but plan to.***
The ending really disappointed me (wife too) It was such a well done mini series but the ending was like the writers mailed it in. Better had he jumped.

I agree that the ending was a total letdown. Hugh Grant's character motivations made no sense.

YellowJacketI disagree... He was such a narcissist that I think it could be seen 2 ways. Throughout the show everything he did was to manipulate those around him, especially his wife and son. So either he hopped up there to manipulate them into trying to save him or...
He actually did plan on jumping but only because he thought he'd totally lost them. Once he saw their reaction, to scream and run to him, there was no way he was going to jump. He thought his wife was running for him while she was actually running for her son. But that's his narcissitic delusion again.
I was prepared for a big switcheroo and someone else having killed her, but the truth is often much simpler. I thought the ultimate sequence of events and the filming was fantastic, as well as the acting.

***Still Spoilers so go away if you don't want to know***
While I don't disagree with your comprehensive assessment, the ending still left me a little unsatisfied. Like I said I'd have felt better had he jumped, and Kidman and the kid just looked down at the abyss, hugged then walked way holding each other. Acting and production was suburb though. Still, another A for HBO miniseries that had me anticipating the next episode.

LS1 GTOMy wife had to point out to me, mom and son never looked back at him.
