The Undoing

'The Undoing' features Nicole Kidman in a mystery that feels like 'Big Little Lies Lite' Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman in 'The Undoing' (Courtesy of HBO). (CNN) "The Undoing" owes debts to earlier high-class HBO miniseries, but the net effect feels like "Big Little Lies Lite." Reuniting Nicole Kidman and writer-producer David E.
