"The men in All Her Fault never utter the titular three words. But you know they're thinking them when a young boy goes missing from a playdate his mother set up (all her fault), when a husband has to rearrange his work schedule because his wife has a meeting (all her fault), and when a teen's overspending sends her boyfriend into a life of crime (all her fault)."
"Created by Megan Gallagher and starring and executive-produced by Sarah Snook in her first live-action TV role since Succession, All Her Fault is compulsively watchable, worthy of the type of binge that carves a dent into your couch cushions. With sprinting momentum, it introduces and amplifies an overlapping series of mysteries that begins with the disappearance of the young son of a very wealthy couple, Marissa (Snook) and Peter Irvine (Jake Lacy)."
"The inciting action is a bit convoluted: Marissa goes to pick up Milo (Duke McCloud) from a playdate, but the woman who answers the door has no idea who Milo is. She is not Jenny, mom of Jacob, who texted Marissa to set up the playdate, nor is she Jenny's nanny. The phone number that texted Marissa claiming to be Jenny is now out of service, and the real Jenny (Dakota Fanning) says she never sent the text."
All Her Fault follows Marissa and Peter Irvine after their young son Milo vanishes following a playdate arranged by Marissa. Men in the story frequently blame women for domestic and workplace inconveniences, framing women as burdens and revealing deep inequities in relationships, family dynamics, and work. The disappearance revolves around a falsified text using another mother's name and a caregiver who denies knowing Milo, which spurs detectives to investigate overlapping mysteries. Sarah Snook stars and executive-produces, and the series moves with rapid momentum, blending family drama and thriller elements while channeling growing fury at dismissive male attitudes.
