Today, everyone's obsessing over Sarah Snook's new thriller All Her Fault, and we've got the complete breakdown in about two minutes flat.
Peacock just unleashed this eight-episode miniseries on November sixth, and it's already breaking the internet. The show follows Marissa Irvine, played by Snook, a wealthy Chicago mom whose life implodes when she arrives to pick up her five-year-old son Milo from a playdate, only to have the woman at the door insist she's never heard of the kid.
This isn't just another missing child story. All Her Fault marks Snook's first major role since her Emmy-winning turn as Shiv Roy in Succession, and she brought the entire Succession crew along for the premiere party. Dakota Fanning stars as Jenny, Marissa's fellow mom friend, while Jake Lacy plays her husband Peter. The series adapts Andrea Mara's bestselling novel, though it swaps Dublin for Chicago.
Here's what makes this show absolutely addictive. First, the opening scene hooks you immediately, a frantic mom realizing her child has vanished into thin air. Executive producer Gareth Neame says he's never worked on a show that grabs audiences from the very first shot, when that doorbell rings and the nightmare begins.
Second, the twists are absolutely bonkers. Jay Ellis, who plays Marissa's best friend Colin, promises viewers will never guess what happens, not only in the big reveal but also in what happens after. He says there's a massive turn in the penultimate episode, then another gut-punch in the finale that made the entire cast yell what the heck. Even Dakota Fanning, who famously spoils shows for herself, admitted she was shocked.
Third, it's secretly a brilliant social commentary. Director Minkie Spiro reveals the title isn't just about the mystery, it's about how mothers in heterosexual relationships still do all the domestic heavy lifting. When things go wrong at home, society's default is to say it's all her fault. The thriller format lets them explore this modern parenting double standard while keeping you on the edge of your seat.
All eight episodes are streaming right now on Peacock, perfect for your next weekend binge. The creators planted subtle visual clues throughout that only make sense after you've seen the ending, so it's basically built for rewatching.
