"The Undoing" is translated as "Doing Nothing", which tells how a narcissistic personality disorder Jonathan covers up his crime of killing his lover Elena, and how his family members protect the fulfillment they expect, or the fulfillment of others, To ignore, hide, confuse myself about Jonathan's crimes.
The interesting thing about this show is that it cuts out all the Undoing in our intimate relationship and puts it in the visible range.
Jonathan's wife Grace's expectations for an ideal, harmonious and complete marital relationship are greater than her real knowledge of her husband, which has led her to find excuses for her husband's crimes.
Son Henry, because he didn't want the family to fall apart, first chose to hide from his mother the fact that he saw his father and his lover dating, and secondly threw the hammer his father used to murder his lover into the dishwasher.
As Jonathan's father-in-law and Grace's father, Franklin wanted to be close to his daughter and did not want to live up to her expectations. First, he concealed the fact that Jonathan had borrowed money from himself, and then funded Jonathan to fight all the lawsuits, even though he firmly believed that Jonathan was guilty.
Almost everyone in the family believed in the fact that Jonathan was guilty, but buried it in their hearts for too many things. I am very happy to see that in the end everyone has to endure the unsatisfactory truth and accuse their husbands, fathers, and sons-in-law of guilt.
We really don’t care so much about conceptual perfection, we need to care about the perfection between specific people, real people, and us.
