Thriller fans have been hooked by an ‘explosive’ new series with ‘endless plot twists’.
Based on Irish author Andrea Mara’s book of the same name, All Her Fault is now streaming on Sky and NOW.
It stars Succession’s Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine, a mother who sets up an after-school playdate for her five-year-old son Milo over text.
But when she goes to pick him up, Marissa finds herself at a stranger’s home with her child nowhere to be found.
When she questions fellow school mum Jenny, whom she thought was watching Milo, Marissa discovers Jenny never texted her about a playdate.
From there unfolds a tense whodunit, spanning across eight episodes.

Snook stars alongside Dakota Fanning, who plays her friend and sympathetic mother Jenny.
They are joined by seasoned American actor Michael Peña in the role of lead Detective Alcaras.
Also starring are The White Lotus’ Jake Lacy as Marissa’s husband, with Abby Elliot (The Bear) and Daniel Monks (Kaos) as his siblings.
Just hours after the limited series premiered on Peacock for American audiences and Sky in the UK, viewers have shared glowing reviews.
One IMDb user penned: “This truly kept my attention from the first episode to the last and I honestly couldn’t predict anything that was going to happen next.
“The writing was solid, the acting was solid and Dakota and Sarah together were fantastic.”

Someone else raved: “I wasn’t expecting to get so wrapped up in this, but Sarah & Dakota are phenomenal actors and the story wasn’t an easy giveaway.”
They continued: “My expectations were blown out of the park & caught myself actually covering my face during the final 2 episodes. Definitely worth a quick binge, especially if you enjoy whodunnits.”
Yet another viewer praised: “The explosive and thrilling start of the first episode really convinced me to keep watching this series.”
Meanwhile, one fan on X posted: “If you’re in the mood to binge watch a show with endless plot twists, give #AllHerFault a try.”
And someone else shared: “Binged all 8 episodes and I need more immediately! #AllHerFault.”
