Directed by Danish Susanne Bier, director of 'In a Better World', the 2011 Oscar-winning film for Best Foreign Film, and produces David E. Kelley, responsible for hits such as' The Law of Angels', Ally McBeal ' or 'Big Little Lies'
Two
stars of the caliber of Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman
.
A
Danish director
who got his film
In a Better World
won the
Oscar
and his series
The infiltrate
an
Emmy
.
And a producer like David E. Kelley who counts his projects for success.
That's how powerful is the cover letter for
The Undoing
, a mystery miniseries that HBO Spain
premieres on October 26.
Franklin Reinhardt (Donald Sutherland) is Grace's father.
The plot revolves around a
married couple (played by Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant) who live happily in New York
and enjoy an enviable financial position.
Grace Fraser (Kidman) works as a therapist in her practice, where she solves the psychological problems of her patients without cutting a hair when exposing the matter.
As much as it hurts.
Meanwhile, Jonathan (Hugh Grant) is a doctor who cares for children with cancer whose professionalism is beyond question.
A modern hero worthy of admiration.
Both appear in the first chapter with their son
Henry (Noah Jupe), a smart boy who attends his classes at a high school
near home where privacy, excellence and details are taken care of.
To raise funds, it has a committee made up of mothers of students who do not hesitate to use their professions and contacts to carry out an
auction with which to raise funds for the academic institution.
In one of these meetings, Grace meets other mothers such as Sylvia (Lily Rabe,
American Horror Story
series
) or Elena (the spectacular Italian actress Matilda De Angelis,
Fast as the Wind
).
Venezuelan Edgar Ramírez plays Detective Joe Mendoza.
Without trying to gut the plot, full of unexpected twists and
cliffhangers
(or final surprises) in line with other classic suspense series, it should be noted that
a murder changes everything.
Above all, for the Fraser couple,
whose members plunge into a spiral of lies, sex and video recordings.
What happened and what didn't happen on a given night is a dilemma that police officers like Detective Joe Mendoza (Edgar Ramírez,
The Darkest Night
and
American Crime Story
series
)
must clarify.
Although characters
like Franklin Reinhardt (Donald Sutherland), Grace's father, do not make it easy for them.
In the series, the theme that appears as a backdrop is the
influence that the rich have on Justice.
As can be seen chapter by chapter, the high economic level (the protagonists live in the surroundings of Central Park, in the heart of Manhattan) that the main characters enjoy allows them to have access to
advantages that no other citizen could afford.
For example, knowing details of the investigation that remain secret, avoiding the sanctions provided by the institute or pressuring the judicial authorities to act in a certain way.
Nicole Kidman, in addition to starring in 'The Undoing', is listed as an executive producer.
In addition to
Nicole Kidman, omnipresent
in all the moments of great drama of the miniseries, Hugh Grant stands out for trying to put aside his comic vision in one of the few series in which he participates.
Not forgetting
Donald Sutherland, with a character capable of frightening with a look.
The Undoing
, which is
composed of six episodes and adapts the novel
You already knew it
,
by Jean Hanff Korelitz, has been directed by
Susanne Bier.
This Copenhagen-born filmmaker became known worldwide with
In a Better World
, a family drama that won the
Oscar for Best Foreign Film
in 2011
after having signed films such
as
Brothers
,
After the Wedding
or
Things We Lost in the Fire
.
From there, he directed films such as
Serena
or
Blind
and a series that led him to win the Emmy.
That production was the thriller
The Infiltrator
, whose cast included Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman, as well as the Spanish Antonio de la Torre and Marta Torné.
Behind
The Undoing
is
David E. Kelley, a heavyweight in the US television industry
who has signed bombings such as
Los Angeles Law
,
A Precocious Doctor
,
Ally McBeal
or
Big Little Lies
.
In the latter, Kelley and Kidman met as creator and protagonist.
An experience that they have repeated in
The Undoing
, in which
Nicole Kidman appears as a producer.
