When a mix-up in the school pick-up line turns out to be a kidnapping, it’s the beginning of the nightmare for the whole Irvine family. Except, as this crime thriller investigates the case, most side-eye and imply that it’s All Her Fault. The blame rests on the mothers’ shoulders, but mainly because the burden of the mental load and all the logistics rest on the shoulders of Marissa Irvine and Jenny Kaminski for their respective families. While the crime itself unfolds to somewhat melodramatic motives, the series ultimately works because of the incredible performances. Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning portray a compelling bond formed by the empathy they both grant each other, when the rest of the world wouldn’t.
"All Her Fault is compulsively watchable, worthy of the type of binge that carves a dent into your couch cushions."
— Roxana Hadadi
"An anxiety-inducing thriller with the sudden drops of a sinkhole and the venomous twists of a snake pit...the eight-episode series will rile you up. It’s designed to do just that. Every mistake, glare of blame, and suspicion is rendered in vivid detail."
— Sherin Nicole
In Chicago, Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Arthur Avenue, expecting to pick up her young son Milo from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. But the woman who answers the door isn't a mother she recognizes. She isn't the nanny. She doesn't have Milo. And so begins every parent's worst nightmare.
