The Undoing Episode 1 review

The Undoing revolves around the lives of the Upper East Side residents whose children go to a private school. The story focuses on the life of Grace and Jonathan Fraser, the former of which is a shrink and about to publish her first book while the latter is a child oncologist. The episode sees a black-tie fundraiser held at the school, where Matilda De Angelis’s Elena Alves is introduced, who is the new mom in the circle.

The episode also sees an awkward encounter between Elena and Grace at the gym, which the two co-incidentally share as Elena walks completely naked on Grace in the locker-room. However, the episode sees the murder of Elena and as Grace suspects Mr. Alves to be a suspect, the investigation officers end up at Grace’s address. The show will further reveal how is Grace connected to a woman’s murder whom she just met 48 hours ago while her husband Jonathan is out of town on a business trip and forgot his phone back at home.
