All Her Fault review – Sarah Snook’s terrifying thriller is an absolute pleasure to watch
This extraordinarily tight child kidnap drama knits all its threads together brilliantly â and the mighty Snook of Succession fame shines as a mother whose son is missing
Look, I am a mother, a neurotic and â if one of my HRT patches sloughs off without me noticing â very quickly a clinical paranoiac. But even if that were not true, this latest tale of a playdate gone unthinkably wrong would have me firmly in its grip. All Her Fault, an adaptation of bestselling thriller writer Andrea Maraâs 2021 book of the same name, braids a number of popular TV trends together, interrogating White Lotus-style the phenomenon of middle-class US affluence and the protections it offers and corruptions it encourages, a missing child narrative and an examination of the penalty women pay for motherhood. It is rare that all these things are held in balance, without at least one element becoming preachy or the thriller part becoming baggy or preposterous, but All Her Fault manages it brilliantly.
It feels like Big Little Lies, but Sarah Snook’s domestic thriller is so much more

The domestic thriller has become a staple of prestige television over the past decade, in no small part because 2017’s Big Little Lies provided such a compelling template: big-name ensemble cast, glamorous lifestyles, stunning real-estate porn and scenery and, above all, the satisfying revelation that beneath the perfect facades, those blissed-out have-it-alls are actually tearing each other apart.
All Her Fault, set in Chicago but shot in Melbourne, is cast very much from that mould. But while it starts out looking pretty cookie-cutter, it soon carves an identity all its own, and rather inspired at that.

Breaking Down the Devastating Ending of All Her Fault
Years of buried lies have unraveled by the time Carrie Finch (Sophia Lillis) shakily raises a gun at the Irvine family in the finale of All Her Fault. Across eight episodes, the series explores how love can twist into possession and how far a parent will go to protect their child. The ending doesn’t simply answer what happened to Milo Irvine (Duke McCloud) after his mother Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) arrives to pick him up from a playdate only to learn he has disappeared; it exposes the crime that made his abduction feel inevitable, then asks what justice looks like when the person you must escape is the one who shares your bed.
