What if Big Little Lies, but in New York City and with no point? That's kind of how Emily and the regulars all felt about The Undoing, the latest Nicole Kidman-David E. Kelley collaboration for HBO; we admired the workmanship, while not really understanding what sets it apart from BLL (besides the quality of the wigs), or buying Kidman and Hugh Grant's chemistry. Will any of us be successfully cliff-hung into watching all six episodes? Later, we investigated Around The Dial with stops at Archer, the new Supermarket Sweep, Revolutionary Girl Utena, The Morning Show, City So Real, and The Queen's Gambit, before location-scouting "Domestic Survivor" for Don's Extra Credit. Emily hoped the signal-to-noise ratio of a fourth-season Halt And Catch Fire episode would be good enough to connect it to the Canon. Stath Lets Flats won, Quibi lost, and Game Time proved a severe insult to the brain (and other things). Quick, look hunted! It's an all-new Extra Hot Great.

0:35.1 | More like Vival Death, am I right? |
0:37.9 | Whig cop, Tara Ariano. |
0:39.4 | I'm a wig social worker now, but I am here to cancel you. |
0:42.0 | And proud Equinox nudist, Emily Yoshita. |
0:44.8 | I'm not threatening anybody, am I? |
0:48.3 | Welcome to ExtraLoc great. |
0:51.8 | Returning for the first time since we made her talk about the society. |
0:55.8 | Oh my goodness. Emily is Tina. Hello, Emily. Why do you still know us? Listen, guys, we live in a society. Even though the society is gone, we still live in a society. Yay for society. We do. Oh, the society. One of the un-renewed, so sad. Wasn't that an early COVID casualty? |
1:14.6 | Yes, it was. It was renewed and then it was unrenewed. One of the early... Wait, we talk about society or society that's... |
1:20.3 | Both. It all works in this case. We are not here to talk about the society this time. We are here to talk about the undoing HBO's new limited series, which reteams Nicole Kidman and David E. Kelly. |
1:34.4 | In the undoing, Grace and Jonathan Fraser, played by Kidman and Hugh Grant, respectively, have a |
1:41.0 | perfect Upper East Side Life, fancy careers, son in the right school, important roles at the right fundraisers, then the mother of a new scholarship student gets murdered and Jonathan suddenly disappears. |
1:54.1 | And was it actually all as perfect as it seemed? Spoiler. No. So only the first episode has aired. We got spoilers for the first, or screen, rather, for the first five. Some of us have watched ahead. We'll be careful about plot spoilers for future episodes. Let us do the Dave Chen check-in first. Go around the circle. Emily Ishida, should people watch the undoing? You guys know that I work in this industry now. |
2:19.2 | I'm like on the other side of the fence in a weird way. |
2:22.8 | But I'm going to say, I'm going to still be, I'm going to keep it real with everybody |
2:26.9 | and say that I don't, I don't think it's worth any, I don't think it's worth your time |
2:31.8 | necessarily. |
