‘All Her Fault’ Review: A Compelling Domestic Mystery
Michael Peña stars in this eight-part thriller centered on the disappearance of a 5-year-old boy from an affluent Chicago neighborhood. Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook), the desperate mother at the core of Peacock’s All Her Fault, insists,
“We’d do anything for our kids. Anything.”
For her missing son, Milo (Duke McCloud), Marissa will stop at nothing to ensure his safety. Yet, as many devoted parents know, the everyday challenges of raising a child reveal the limits of such sacrifices: patience can run thin after repeated temper tantrums, work can interfere with bedtime routines, and no amount of love can shield a child from all of life's harsh realities.
Exploring Parental Struggles in a Thrilling Narrative
This intricate mystery examines these cracks in parental resilience. Marissa and her husband, Peter (Jake Lacy), endure the torment of Milo’s disappearance, facing the tension between protection and control within family dynamics. While it may not reach the heights of top domestic thrillers like Big Little Lies, the series delivers consistent engagement through clever plot twists and sharp insights into maternal guilt and paternal pride.
For a significant part of the story, the actual fate of Milo seems almost secondary to the emotional experience of the family.
