All Her Fault

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.

I loved the book and enjoyed the series for the most part. But they changed way too much from the book. In the book the brother was not disabled so the whole storyline involving the brother bothered me. In the book Carrie's mom plays a big role and she is completely different in the series. A lot of other characters that are important in the book are not in the series and vice versa. It was an entertaining show, but nowhere near as good as the book.

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.

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.

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.
