All Her Fault

When I started to watch this it was before there were any reviews written. The title is misleading and the description is off. I expected maybe a witch hunt kind of film but watched something for more complicated and satisfying. Now I know it was based on a book which further explains why it was so much better than expected. I suggest going into blind and just letting the story unfold.

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. 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.

Apart from being too long, this is one of the better mini series, six would have done. The acting is fine, particularly from Sophia Lillis towards the end.

Milo, a small child goes missing and is feared kidnapped. Sarah Snook is the fraught mother and Jake Lacey the dad. He's a control freak who likes to look after everyone obsessively in his family so be suspicious.

There are so many twists and turns in this but for what it's worth, I thought for a change they all made sense.

What happens to Milo is the focal point and things constantly change and I was kept intrigued most of the time. I just feel that the first six episodes could have been done with four. The last two are worth waiting for. Michael Pena as the cop in charge trying to solve the riddle is teriffic, cool, incisive and a joy to watch. Recommended.

I don't know why there are any reviews stating this is not a good series. To me it's one of the best, if not THE BEST Crime TV dramas I've ever seen.

The story-line while seeming pretty basic during the first episodes, becomes riveting and I think you'll be unable to stop watching.

It's very different from the traditional missing person cases and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen and who may be the culprits.

Michael Peña is absolutely outstanding in this role and I couldn't take my eyes of any scene he was in. His acting was superb and I could feel his emotions throughout the show.

Now, no spoilers will I use, only to say that you must watch this series to the very end because of the shocking events as they unwind. Especially the last 3 episodes. I binge watched all 8 episodes last night as I could not tear myself away from knowing what the ending would be.

I highly recommend this show as a fantastic story and the enjoyment received during each episode, especially for married women and mothers with young kids. It really is not to be missed and a gem which I luckily stumbled across. Wish there were more shows that had this effect on me.

Although it starts very well, by the third episode you might think all eight will be about women being blamed and men getting away with everything.

Don't worry, the story moves on to cover other themes, so by the time episode 5 rolls around you will enjoy what seems more like an Ira Levin play than another 'eat the rich' miniseries.

After then, you probably won't be able to resist binging to the end!
