What does not work?

While the acting and direction of the series are good, The Undoing ending is disappointing. That is that the twist given in the final episode is not so much a twist. The killer shown in the series is the one who was the primary suspect throughout the series.

On average, each episode in the series is 50 minutes long. One can watch the series as it boasts of a terrific cast and the plot of the series is interesting. The Undoing is recommended to watch.
