The Internet Had *Thoughts* About The Undoing Finale
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Birthday Celebration Was Out of This World
Literally out of this world.
Major The Undoing spoilers ahead.
The closure our nation has craved since Oct. 25 was delivered last night when a certain Jonathan Fraser (the most likely suspect) was revealed to be Elena Alves’s killer on HBO’s The Undoing.
For some, this was a moment of revelry: “I knew it all along!” viewers shouted at their indignant families, basking in the glow of victory just hours after Aunt Martha claimed with certainty that Grace had committed the crime during a dissociative episode.
What's brilliant about the finale is that Jonathan manipulated the viewer, just like an actual narcissist would. They make you question what's right in front of your face. Us suspecting everyone else when he ~clearly~ did it ... was kind of the point #UndoingHBO

Even the best of us (Ava DuVernay) were led astray:
My theory about #TheUndoing was entirely incorrect. But no matter! ‘Twas a fun, twisty long-watch written by David E. Kelley. Splashy perfs by top-notch actors who got to swing for the fences. Directed expertly by Madame Susanne Bier. A good time. Applause for the cast and crew! pic.twitter.com/ZDPa4nndcw

Sometimes the simplest answer is the most difficult to believe (my money was on Donald Sutherland):
they told us who the killer was day one and we were all out here like this blaming everyone and the extras. i cannot 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #TheUndoing pic.twitter.com/YCdu9DOjBb

The mental gymnastics I did to justify everyone other than him being the killer.... #undoinghbo pic.twitter.com/ix44h8m1qz

Others, expecting the greatest Clue game of their lives to play out onscreen, were disappointed by the simplicity of the series’ finale reveal.
#undoinghbo Was an absolute masterpiece of a series for the first 5 hours and 50 minutes 😑 pic.twitter.com/bSu4x1ikCG

So the #UndoingHBO finale was underwhelming. Jonathan did it. Lots of plot holes. They underutilized Lily fucking Rabe. pic.twitter.com/tNw54OeTP9

RELATED: The Best Coats From The Undoing Fortunately Have Affordable Alternatives
Still, there are truths we, The Undoing viewers, hold to be self-evident: Grace Fraser’s coat-game is unmatched, Haley Fitzgerald (Noma Dumezweni) is the world’s most badass lawyer, our mental image of Hugh Grant will forever be tied to that hammer, Lily Rabe deserved more (and so did Elena and Fernando).
Petition to create new Emmy categories for The Undoing: Best Coats (Nicole Kidman), Best Beard (Edgar Ramirez).

Nothing to see here, just a man trying to blame his own son for a murder he did #TheUndoing pic.twitter.com/kCtBSgytkW

okay my last complaint is that if i was a writer on #theundoing I would have gone WAY deeper into Elena and Fernando’s storylines. it’s the first time I can remember a latinx couple leading an HBO series and they play the dead victim and the secondary suspect. they deserved more! pic.twitter.com/GEQ14N2qQ2

I just feel like all of social media owes Lily Rabe an apology tonight. #TheUndoing pic.twitter.com/TUv3JBrAfy

In conclusion:
#TheUndoing I am undone.
