All Her Fault

The story was far too long in its telling and would have been better suited to a mini series of 4 episodes rather than the 8 episodes they dragged it out to.

The cast was good and well acted . Considering all the family complexities that were revealed as a side issue to the taking of the boy that made the whole story so over the top in the end you wonder how they managed to live with each other after such revelations.

Still worth a watch with the fast forward buttons help.

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.

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!

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'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.
