This New Gripping Peacock Thriller Is a Must-See if You Miss Sarah Snook From 'Succession'

Peacock's new miniseries, All Her Fault, is a high-quality detective thriller and the long-awaited return of Succession star Sarah Snook.

Snook not only delivers a brilliant performance in the lead role, but also serves as an executive producer.

What Is 'All Her Fault' About?

Marissa (Sarah Snook), a career woman, arrives at a children's birthday party to pick up her five-year-old son, Milo. However, she is horrified to discover that he isn't there.

It turns out that the text from her friend and neighbor Jenny (Dakota Fanning) was fake and that no one picked Milo up from daycare. The situation worsens when a young nanny disappears at the same time.

Marissa, together with her husband (Jake Lacy) and a detective (Michael Peña), dives into the investigation and uncovers a web of lies entangling her wealthy family and those around them.

'All Her Fault' Is on Par With Shows Like 'Big Little Lies' in Terms of Drama

Peacock clearly aimed to create its own version of the cult HBO series Big Little Lies, and largely succeeded. Like Big Little Lies, the new project features dark secrets of affluent suburbia, a remarkable ensemble cast, and a poignant social message.

The series delves into complex topics such as parental guilt, the cost of motherhood, and how corruption and patronage permeate middle-class life. At the core of the narrative, however, is a powerful exploration of female friendship and self-worth.

Though All Her Fault lacks the scale and budget of the HBO hit, it rivals its predecessor in drama and character development.

'All Her Fault' Is One Big Puzzle That Will Keep You Glued to the Screen Until the Finale

The creators use the technique of an unreliable narrator: each character's testimony is constantly questioned. The only support the viewer has is the detective, played by Michael Peña, who conducts his investigation with clarity.

Numerous flashbacks and memories from five years ago gradually come together to reveal that Milo's kidnapping was not an accident but the logical outcome of a long-simmering conflict.

Every detail, even the most insignificant one, leads the characters toward inevitable tragedy. This tense puzzle will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout all eight episodes until the finale reveals a spectacular plot twist.

What Did Critics & Viewers Think of 'All Her Fault'?
