## Synopsis

All Her Fault (2025) is a British crime thriller miniseries created by Megan Gallagher for Sky Atlantic. Sarah Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a Chicago mother who arrives to collect her young son Milo from a playdate and finds a stranger at the door instead of the nanny she expects. Jake Lacy stars as Peter Irvine, her husband, while Michael Peña plays Detective Alcaras, the investigator working the case, and Sophia Lillis and Dakota Fanning round out the principal cast. The engine of the story is a frantic search in which Marissa must untangle who among the neighbors and household figures is lying, while the investigation pushes through interviews, late-night suspicions and fraying family loyalties. Told across a single eight-episode run of roughly fifty-four minutes each, it unfolds as one continuous mystery rather than a case of the week. The atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, shaped by suburban calm that hides menace, and the mood stays anxious and paranoid throughout. Fans of Big Little Lies, The Night Of and The Perfect Nanny will find resonance in its polished domestic unease and its sustained dread of a parent's worst fear.
