The Review: All Her Fault

All Her Fault 10/10

This show had me and my lady in a headlock! She mentioned hearing about it and that it was good so we decided to check it out and within the first few minutes we had our jaws on the floor. The premise sounds simple: family has son that was kidnapped and they try to find him. No. This show has so much more than that and I want everyone to watch it but since its on Peacock maybe two people I know will have access to it. That is what sucks about that channel. They have like two good things a year you wanna watch and Olympics.

This mother Marissa goes to pick up her son, Milo, after a play date. She gets to the address and this older lady is like “I think you have the wrong house.” Marissa starts to panic when she calls the number she was given and its disconnected. She calls the mother she thought was with her son and she didn't plan a play date. Now the search and panic and all manner of secrets start spilling out from these rich folks lives. I was blaming every woman on this show! Its her fault! No, its hers! Wait, maybe its her fault. She seem guilty, its her. I was more wrong than any other mystery/crime solving show than I have ever been but I liked it.

I was trying to figure out how to write this without spoiling everything and the best way to do that is to shut up and let you all watch it. I told my lady that it reminded me of Who Killed Sara? but just the first season. That show went off the rails after that. This had great pacing, writing, and acting. The poor mother was wet cheeked and sobbing so much it seemed exhausting. The secrets that came out every episode had me clutching my pearls. We watched the whole season in a few days even after finding out there were eight episodes and not six. They fly by and are only ruined by ads so if you have the app ad free you're good. If you are looking for something that is a good watch with no extra seasons or backstories you need to research then find this. It for sure would have made my best of 2025 list.
