Kelley in the producer’s seat, and no source material on bookstore shelves to add additional contest). So, relevant comparisons will be made to with this series, which undoubtedly arrives with a lesser pedigree (no David E. And a lot of people who applauded Lily Rabe as Sylvia will want to watch her in another show.

Look, I probably shouldn’t be fixating upon The Undoing while reviewing another show, but it’s a recent show that gathered a lot of social media attention, and our current situation has led to fewer TV shows being churned out, so I suspect that a lot of people could use a similar trash-thriller fix. And that’s a shame because this show would likely be embraced if its leading trio - played almost too well by Rabe, Hamish Linklater, and Amy Brenneman - could also distract from its (abundant) flaws by, you know, zooming in on Nicole Kidman’s scene-stealing eyeballs to communicate shock and fear in a Hitchcockian way. Both shows swan dive into soap operative excess, but whereas The Undoing was forgiven for most of its sins, Tell Me Your Secrets won’t receive the same deference.

It’s a seriously messy series - so chaotic and unyielding that one almost admires all of the excessive effort - yet it doesn’t have the A-list selling power of the former series. Whereas the former show kind-of revels in letting those holes all hang out. And whereas latter was exquisitely shot, casting a seductive sheen over any plot holes that persisted. Tell Me Your Secrets has more in common with The Undoing that is immediately evident. Rabe did an excellent job of keeping the audience guessing about her character’s motives, and she pulls off a similar trick in Amazon Prime’s new crime thriller series. She portrayed Sylvia, the best friend of Kidman’s Grace, and let’s just say that Sylvia was a surprise ace-in-the-hole for nearly every character who wasn’t a murderer.
Then there was an unassuming-yet-commanding performance by Lily Rabe.
It wasn’t great, but it was passably intriguing and one of those series that found its main selling point in damn fine performances from the upper crust of talent, including a villainous turn by Hugh Grant, a nuanced portrayal from Nicole Kidman, and a nefarious twirl from Donald Sutherland’s mustache. HBO’s The Undoing was a fun limited series.
