The fine script is by TV legend David E. Kelley.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan (Grant) and Grace Fraser (Kidman) are a wealthy married doctor couple in New York&#8217;s high society. He&#8217;s a pediatric oncologist and she&#8217;s a psychiatrist. They have a young son (Noah Jupe), Henry. Their lives are destroyed when a young woman is murdered and Jonathan disappears.<\/p>\n<p>There are 6 episodes, so it&#8217;s really more like a long movie or miniseries than a real TV series. Unlike &#8220;Big Little Lies,&#8221; I doubt there will be a second season. The whole suspense was about who did the murder, and we learn that at the end. I can&#8217;t imagine how they would do a second season.<\/p>\n<p>Kidman plays a much stronger woman here than she did in that other HBO series. Most of the show is scene from Grace&#8217;s point-of-view, and she imagines scenes of murder or sex that she didn&#8217;t actually see.<\/p>\n<p>Grant is fantastic as her lying, cheating (and possibly murderous) husband. They have great chemistry. If you like drama, suspense and mystery, you should enjoy this.\u00a0 Heck, it might be worth watching just to see Donald Sutherland&#8217;s very impressive eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>There are many good features on the DVD set as you can see below. They&#8217;re entertaining to watch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B08MMGZWC7\/ref=sr_1_1\/suzannelanoue\/\">Buy this DVD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<header class=\"sc-kafWEX hRVDQn\">\n<h1 class=\"sc-jwKygS fUlTAe\">WBHE Announces &#8220;The Undoing&#8221; an HBO Limited Series, on Blu-ray and DVD in March<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"sc-bYSBpT xklMK\">\n<div>\n<p>(Burbank, CA) \u2013 Nothing stays hidden!
