All Her Fault on Peacock

[d.anders]

This new 8 episode mystery thriller mostly held me through a decent binge watch. I was particularly impressed with Sarah Snook (who is executive producing) and Dakota Fanning. I'm not sure about Jake Lacy's (White Lotus) casting, but I have to say his acting mostly held up. 

It's a high drama, roller-coaster type story about a child kidnapping from wealthy parents, and is based on a book by the same name. The story is complicated, with lots of twists and turns. Plenty of secrets revealed along the way. Enough mystery to keep you on the edge until the very last episode. There is a lengthy synopsis on Wikipedia, but it's full of spoilers.

Apparently, the show has received critical praise, and 79% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nigel Merchant and Gareth Neame of Downton Abbey fame are also exec producers.

It's not a perfect mystery, which is very hard to find these days. The story does have some eye roll moments. However, I would say this is a significant effort in the mystery/thriller space.
