All Her Fault is a mystery thriller starring Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine, a mother who arrives to pick up her son Milo from a playdate, only to discover he is missing. The story revolves around her search for the kidnapper.
Based on Andrea Mara's novel of the same name, the series features Jake Lacy, Sophia Lillis, Michael Peña, and Dakota Fanning in key roles. The show premiered all eight episodes on Peacock in the US on November 6, and is available on Sky and NOW TV in the UK.
“For such an intense, spindly drama, it’s a shame that All Her Fault is a little too brisk in its reveals and reversals. Red herrings are quickly cleared up, and the efficient plotting – driven by determined good guy Detective Alcaras (Michael Peña), whose unwavering competence ensures we’re always on the right track – feels very neat.” — NME (Three-star review)
The tight pacing and clear narrative leave viewers with limited chances to do their own detective work, according to the review.
Summary: "All Her Fault" delivers a swift, tightly plotted thriller focused on a mother searching for her kidnapped son, with strong performances but limited suspense for viewers to unravel.
