	Media	Author	Review
		Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] comes so close to commenting on privilege and injustice with something like awareness, but all too quickly devolves into the very stereotypes it purports to understand"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Though the story feels familiar, the miniseries (...) delivers enough twists, suspense and sumptuous style to pull the viewer along to the end."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"With Kidman also on board as executive-producer, it’s easy to see 'The Undoing' as something of a vanity project (...) That won’t be a problem for many viewers, but there are subtleties in the book (...) which are missing here"
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s almost hard to believe that stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, series writer David E. Kelley (...) and series director Susanne Bier (...) could come up with a show so limp, so generic, so dispiritingly bad"
		Jeff Sneider Collider	"This is an entertaining story that’s well-performed by an impressive cast, so here’s hoping the final episodes show me something I haven’t seen before"
		Lewis Knight Mirror	"A riveting, visually stunning, and enigmatic thriller that features magnetic lead performances from Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Candice Frederick TV Guide	"Kelley has created a crackling mystery with terrific actors. But ultimately, it has nothing to say (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Cutting to the chase, which is something 'The Undoing' never does: HBO’s new limited series is not worth your time"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It has the pedigree and even some of the personnel from “Big Little Lies,” mixed with the NY whodunit aspect of “The Night Of,” but it ends up paling in comparison to both. Despite heavy lifting of talents (...) it simply drifts away from what it should have been, revealing its shallowness more with each passing episode. (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
