I think the grandfather did it but I'm unsure how.

Welp. That's that.

Turns out, the simplest answer was the right one. The last ten minutes or so were kind of out there, but I thought it was a pretty good finale overall, especially the courtroom stuff, which was riveting.

Used that hammer like driving a nail into a fencepost on a nice little Saturday

Last 10 minutes was lame. I think it ends better if they left it with the lawyer saying "you didn't get rid of the ****ing hammer". That was great. Grace leaves with her dad. Roll credits.

Yes a little disappointing, but guess the twist was in the court testimony vs the crime itself.

Agree with Danny, last getaway was a little ridiculous with the helicopters flying 20' off the ground and whatnot.

Good show overall.

Agreed. The finale was aces to that point. Make it slightly more of a "moment" when Grace f*cks him over, then just have a montage of him being sentenced/put behind bars, intercut with the flashbacks of him killing Elena, and end it there.

Judge Judy would have destroyed the prosecutor on the hearsay objections and sustained every one them. Grace wouldn't have gotten "I spoke to his moth..." before she squashed that

Seems they wanted to show his true character to end. The final look he gave when they flew off shows his narcissism.

I enjoyed the show. Is there a list of upcoming shows that will fill that Sunday night 8pm slot?

Unfortunately, not that I know of. Traditionally, the HBO Sunday night drama slot is empty from mid-December to mid-January, so we won't be seeing anything until January, regardless. But by now, in past years, we've at least known what's premiering in January, yet I haven't heard a peep, nor have I seen any trailers for anything. I'm afraid Covid has finally caught up with HBO's scheduling, considering they delayed The Undoing from May/June to November/December just so they had enough content to last the calendar year. That said, The Nevers, their big summer 2021 show, is almost done filming, and it sounds like Succession is about to start filming again any day now, if not already. And I'm sure a couple other shows are already in the can/filming again, and HBO will probably have a new docu-series or two ready as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have any new scripted Sunday night content until spring or so at the earliest (hopefully with Succession), for the first time in I don't know how long.

I thought it was fascinating. It was so interesting to see someone with NPD refuse to admit to reality.

It was especially telling when he was talking about his legacy to his son, and trying to preserve something with him.

Got it. I think I did see something about Euphoria coming back next Sunday.

Oh, that's right. But it's just a one or two episode thing, meant to take place between seasons one and two. Season two was about to start filming when the pandemic hit, and they haven't resumed yet, but decided to shoot a couple of sparse cast and crew in-between episodes to tide people over.

I am whelmed.

I know this is the Undoing thread but is anyone checking out Industry, the Brit drama airing on Mondays? Wife and I are watching it and just found out HBO threw the rest of the episodes up on HBO Max over the weekend. We're trying to find a reason to keep HBO until the Spring season when Succession and a few others are back on. Undoing was good and kept our interest for the last month or so.

lol me and the wife just started that as well! Only 1 episode in but seems intriguing!

Exact same. Fired this up after Undoing and Fargo finales last night.

I've seen the first few episodes. It is ok, especially with there not being a whole lot of new content out there at the moment.

Glad to hear it.

And yeah, we definitely need a Hugh Grant-aissance. He was hilarious in The Gentlemen earlier this year, and he could play an excellent villain in some big budget something or other, or go back to his charming self, just older and more seasoned now. Either way, after a nice little 2020 run, he needs to be working more.

Agree completely, and I was thinking the same thing. He's having a great run, and was indeed hilariously awesome in The Gentlemen. You kind of forget how big he was 20 or so years ago, but he's actually a pretty great actor too.

I could see him being an old school Bond villain after his turn in this. Or at least Kingsmen 5 or whatever they're doing next in that series.

Her friend was able to pass along the info about his sister's death and his reaction to it. Basically set up the meat of the prosecution cross-examination to show he's a sociopath with a line of questioning they'd never have otherwise known to pursue

It took a 6 episode miniseries to commentate that doctors are narcissistic sociopaths? Seems like there could have been cheaper ways to prove what we already know.

JK. Pretty dang good. Me and my wife binged in 2 nights. Solid performances by the 3 big hitters, and pretty good performance from lead detective actor.

Is it a very violent miniseries? I tend to avoid those...

Only one scene... but it's pretty hardcore

Thanks...as I said in another thread, this forum is helping me make all my watching decisions...so I'm out!

Wrapped it up last night. As Panther said - nice and tight little miniseries. I thought Donald Sutherland was amazing (as always), Hugh Grant really blew me away too.

I tell you what Noma Dumezweni (Haley Fitzgerald) is a damn fine actor. Really impressed with her. I, too, think they should've kept the ending in the court room with the "how could you forget the ****ing hammer" I don't think we needed the helicopter denouement.

Few Q's:

Grace called her friend for a walk and asked her to help. Maybe I missed what exactly she did to help? Was it something hammer related?

I also want to nominate Matilda De Angelis for TV Tittays of 2020. Might be the best TV rack since Alexandra Daddadrio?

---

Funny thing about this is that they actually talked about her great her tits were in the show! Kidman's friends made comments about them. Lol.

Anyway, good show. We didn't know who did it up until the end because of all of the misdirects.
