Your support makes all the difference.Hugh Grant delivered a video message to introduce a drive-in screening of his new psychological thriller The Undoing.
Grant stars in the new show from Big Little Lies writer David E Kelley alongside Nicole Kidman.
The pair play a successful couple whose lives begin to unravel after a mother of a child at their son’s school is murdered.
According to Page Six, as he introduced the screening in the prerecorded clip, Grant quipped: “Hello, Hamptons. I think you’re going to watch two episodes in your cars, which is… really weird.
“Maybe you’ll do some necking, or some dogging… whatever people do in cars in the Hamptons.”
The US website stated that some American attendees might not have “even understood the British slang”.
In a three-star review for The Independent, Ed Cumming wrote that the drama “struggles to reconcile satire with a traditional thriller”.
Grant’s wife Anna Eberstein, however, is a fan of the show. The actor recently admitted that Eberstein “hates pretty much everything I’ve ever done” apart from the series.
The Undoing is available to watch on Now TV.
