‘All Her Fault’ Review: A Satisfying Domestic Mystery on Peacock
Michael Peña stars in this eight-part thriller focused on the disappearance of a 5-year-old boy from an affluent Chicago neighborhood. Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook), the frantic mother at the center of Peacock’s All Her Fault, declares,
“We’d do anything for our kids. Anything.”
Her determination to protect her missing son, Milo (Duke McCloud), drives her to consider any sacrifice or desperate action necessary. Yet, as many parents know, the relentless reality of parenting exposes limits to such devotion—whether it’s patience worn thin by repeated tantrums, missed bedtimes due to work, or the sobering fact that love can't shield a child from all harm.
A Mystery Rooted in Parental Struggles
The story explores these cracks in parental endurance, examining Marissa and her husband Peter’s (Jake Lacy) torment as they face the nightmare of Milo’s disappearance. Although it may not reach the heights of elite domestic thrillers like Big Little Lies, this series offers a compelling experience filled with sharp twists and insightful commentary on maternal guilt, paternal arrogance, and the complex divide between protecting children and controlling them.
“For a while, it almost doesn’t seem to matter what really happened to Milo.”
This tension keeps viewers engaged, reflecting on the emotional battlegrounds parents navigate when their family’s safety is at stake.
Author’s summary: This series delivers a gripping exploration of parental love tested by crisis, blending mystery with profound insights into family dynamics and the fine line between protection and control.
