The Show's Central Themes

The series explores the uneven division of labor in households, highlighting how women often juggle work responsibilities while managing most household tasks. The abduction of Milo symbolizes societal tendencies to blame women, which is reflected in the show's title, All Her Fault.

“When they gave me the book and I read it and found out what the twist was, I couldn’t say no, it was just so juicy and there’s so much to explore,” Snook told Deadline.

“I think it’s a conversation that’s been certainly happening in my life, in my friendship circles for the last, certainly five years at least, and coming more to the public forefront, about the invisible labor that women tend to take on in a relationship that has children involved,” Snook said.
