It feels like Big Little Lies, but Sarah Snook’s domestic thriller is so much more

It’s the right address, but Milo’s not there. The woman who answers the door has never heard of him, or of the kid with whom he’s meant to be having the play date, or of the kid’s mother, or of Marissa. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare, and it’s only the beginning. Marissa is in finance. Her husband, Peter (Jake Lacy, from season one of The White Lotus), is a commodities trader. Their house is enormous, overlooking the water. They have a nanny. Peter’s disabled brother Brian (Daniel Monks) lives with them and works for Peter, as a day trader. His sister Lia (Abby Elliott, Carmie’s sister Sugar from The Bear) is around all the time. So is Marissa’s business partner Colin (Jay Ellis). It’s a world reeking of wealth, but any one of them could be involved in Milo’s disappearance. There’s plenty of tension, suspicion and red herrings across the eight-episode series, as you’d expect from any thriller. But where All Her Fault – produced by the team behind Downton Abbey and The Day of the Jackal – really excels is in the way it makes the domestic reflective of the social.
