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.

I was really looking forward to this when I first saw the trailer and it was better than I thought it was going to be. I completely binged this in a day as I just could not wait to see what was going to happen in the next episodes. All the cast were good but the storyline, I thought, was great. Im not easy to surprise, I normally can see twists coming as I watch a lot of thrillers, bit this managed to take me by surprise. Really hope more shows like this come out.

This show has a lot of good suspense and mystery that keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a great show to binge watch. But the characters are all one dimensional and the dialog and their actions don't always make sense or seem realistic. It chock full of plot holes at every turn. The writing is horrible and the show is definitely not an intelligent show. It's like a 10 year old making up a story and making it more and more ridiculous as he goes along. The actors are all talented and doing a commendable job with the material they're given, but they can only do so much. Yet it's suspenseful enough that no matter how bad it is you want to see what happens next.

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.

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.

Peacock's All Her Fault starts with promise, but it spirals quickly. Sarah Snook and Lacey are especially rough-Snook spends so much time teary-eyed with odd, distracting gestures that it's hard to connect with her character at all. She never builds real sympathy, and the performance just doesn't land.

Dakota Fanning goes the opposite direction-so subtle and muted that it becomes distracting in a different way. Put together, the acting feels mismatched and ineffective.

The show starts strong, but the plot twists become more twisted for the sake of being twisted, and the finale is completely contrived. By the end, the whole series feels like a frustrating waste of potential.

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.

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. The chemistry felt real and for that I was appreciative because who doesn't love a good friend story at the end of everything.

Clearly a case of a production company pouring more money into PR than actual production quality. The writing is atrocious, the editing bad, the incidental music on the level of a mediocre soap opera. Sarah Snook & Dakota Fanning are great, but their talent alone is not enough to make up for this absolute train wreck.

The setting for this mystery drama is beautiful but don't let that fool you. Messy emotions run deep in this rollercoaster series as relationships break down under the pressure and layers of history come to the surface. After five episodes in one go, I have to get some sleep but can't wait until tomorrow when I will watch the final three. Brilliant acting and terrific storyline.

This is about four too many episodes. It dragged on for far too long, almost to the point that you no longer cared. The acting, for the most part, was pretty good. The script was a tad too formulaic for me. It is also a "stolen" plot from another movie. No one has any original ideas anymore and when they try to use others, the least they could do is improve it. It's not a horrible watch but I fell asleep multiple times trying to finish it.

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!

Things are not ever what they seem to be. The lesson is, don't judge behavior. Judge intent. The twists and turns in this series are brilliant. From start to finish, we ask ourselves "why?" and "how is this connected?" Once we shape an opinion on a suspect, the next thing you know it's blown out of the water.

What do you do when you have a ridiculous, contrived story to tell and need to sell it big. Well you hire a cast of actors known for being great. The acting in this is excellent because Sarah Snook and Jake Lacy, along with Dakota Fanning are being asked to make the most preposterous, unlikely situations believable. For the most part it works because this series grabs you in episode 1 and reels you in. Unfortunately there are holes in the story, it eventually becomes predictable, and everything about the last episode I saw coming. By that last episode not even the fine acting could save how fake and contrived this tale became. On top of that the characters are the usual New Hollywood stereotypes, white men bad while the wives in this may as well have been saints. Everyone was one dimensional , even with the twists in the plot. Had the story been grounded in reality, as it started out, it could've been great. Instead it took a nosedive and never recovered.

I have no idea how the rating is so high. I'm guessing it's only from people who read the book and were excited about the adaptation. The acting is on the level of a basic lifetime movie. The script is cheesy at best. The premise of the story is great, but with way too much filler that has absolutely no bearing on the story, it takes away from the potential. I only watched all of it because the reviews promised twist after twist. Each "twist" was just adding another random stranger into the story that we'd never seen before, so there was no way of guessing that it would have happened. I didn't guess the actual final reason why everything actually happened to set the events into motion, but I was pretty much spot on with everything else, just guessing "oh, it's because that guy did this"... It was all pretty obvious. If this had been just a movie, without all the extra wasted side stories (and a little better acting), I probably would have enjoyed it a bit more.

What in the actual eff am I looking at here? This show is as bad as the worst Lifetime movie there is. I was not attached to any of the characters at all. So many loses ends and random scenes that happen for no reason at all. It seems to me that the writers had an idea that could've been done in a 80 min movie but they stretched it into this dreadful 8 episode series. Ugh I can't believe I wasted almost 8 hours of my life watching this POS. Spare yourself and just watch a crappy lifetime movie at least those are more entertaining and funny.

I'm genuinely impressed - this mini-series exceeded my expectations in every way. I loved how it kept me constantly engaged with its twists, emotions, and depth. Every episode had something new and surprising, making it a joy to watch from start to finish. For me, it's the perfect example of a well-crafted, memorable story that stays with you long after it ends.

All of it feels cheap.

The red herrings are dkne wrong, the dialogue is badly written and there are many obvious mistakes.

Example an investigator is asking for the time when a marathoner was passing near a place, she asked, found it and than asked if it was enough, she need it she should know. Amd this is just one example. Feels like written with AI.

The acting is overdone.

The standard of streaming platform dramas is at a high level. Shows such as Department Q, Slow Horses, This City is Ours, Kin, and Down Cemetery Road (to name a few) have set the bar high.

This doesn't get to the bar. In fact, the people who made this show don't even know the bar exists.

This is nothing more than a daytime TV show with the acting and production quality of a true crime drama from a budget network. Why Michael Peña and Dakota Fanning put their name to this is beyond me. The writing, the cinematography, the acting, the production - it's also atrocious.

At times it meanders without purpose. At other times it's just relentless scenes of domestic unrest. The only character you can even remotely empathise with is Peña and his son. None of the characters are remotely likeable.

The storyline is deeply unimpressive (when things actually happen other than arguing and crying).

How this has 77% on Rotten Tomatoes and over 7/10 on IMDB is genuinely beyond me.
