Sarah Snook Stars in Kidnapping Thriller “All Her Fault”
Sarah Snook returns to television after “Succession” with the Peacock kidnapping thriller All Her Fault, offering a middling take on the rich mom mystery genre.
Character Comparison
The protagonist, Marissa Irvine, shares some surface traits with Snook’s previous role, Siobhan Roy. Both characters are wealthy and portrayed by Snook, known for playing the ambitious and unaware heiress in “Succession.” Marissa is a self-made wealth manager in Chicago who favors a quietly elegant wardrobe dominated by neutral colors and cocoon-like coats.
Motherhood as Core Theme
The main distinction lies in Marissa’s defining motherhood role, a stage Shiv Roy had only started experiencing by the end of “Succession.” The series, adapted by Megan Gallagher from Andrea Mara’s 2021 novel, opens with Marissa discovering her 5-year-old son, Milo, missing after a playdate.
Plot and Performance
The story unfolds as a tense kidnapping drama, exploring every parent's worst nightmare. For Snook, also an executive producer, this role is a tailored opportunity to lead a series following the success of “Succession” two and a half years ago.
“All Her Fault” allows Snook to express a wide emotional range, sobbing with panic and gasping in horror as Marissa’s search for Milo takes unexpected twists and turns.
The show should not be confused with All’s Fair, another female-focused series released the same week that also features “All” in the title.
Author’s summary: Sarah Snook’s “All Her Fault” explores motherhood and fear in a kidnapping thriller that, while compelling, offers a familiar and moderate entry in the wealthy parent mystery genre.
