Sarah Snook Returns in Kidnapping Thriller "All Her Fault"
Sarah Snook makes her TV comeback after "Succession" in the Peacock kidnapping thriller All Her Fault, a moderate entry in the rich mom mystery genre.
Character and Story Overview
The protagonist, Marissa Irvine, shares some surface traits with Siobhan Roy, Snook’s character on Succession. Both are wealthy women portrayed by Snook, favoring elegant, neutral-toned wardrobes. However, while Siobhan was an oblivious heiress, Marissa is a self-made wealth manager based in Chicago and is strongly defined by her role as a mother.
Plot Introduction
The story, adapted by Megan Gallagher from Andrea Mara's 2021 novel, begins when Marissa attempts to pick up her 5-year-old son Milo from a playdate, only to discover he is missing. The ensuing kidnapping drama explores the terrifying ordeal for any parent.
“All Her Fault” allows Snook to emote fully, sobbing with panic and gasping in horror as Marissa’s quest to find Milo takes its inevitable twists and turns.
Production Notes
- Sarah Snook is also the executive producer of the series.
- This show marks her first leading TV role after Succession concluded two and a half years ago.
- Not to be confused with All’s Fair, another female-focused show debuting the same week.
Author's summary: Sarah Snook’s "All Her Fault" is a tense but uneven kidnapping thriller that spotlights motherhood and the emotional depths of parental fear in a familiar mystery format.
