On ‘The Undoing,’ Nicole Kidman Hides Out at a Fabulously Rustic New York Beach House
Lindsay Blake What’s a good thriller without a haunting beach house? Isolated coastal abodes are at the center of “What Lies Beneath,” “Sleeping with the Enemy,” “The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair,” as well as “Play Misty for Me.” And now, “The Undoing,” HBO’s latest limited series (which airs Sundays at 9 p.m.), finds its central character, Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman), hiding out at a remote seaside dwelling in order to escape media scrutiny after a fellow mother at her son’s prestigious school is murdered and her husband, Jonathan (Hugh Grant), goes simultaneously missing.The towering shingled abode certainly casts a spell the moment it comes onscreen – and I wasn’t the only one to take notice.
