Sarah Snook Returns with Kidnapping Drama "All Her Fault"
Sarah Snook makes her television comeback after "Succession" with the Peacock thriller All Her Fault, which lands as a moderate entry in the rich mom mystery genre. The show centers on Marissa Irvine, a self-made wealth manager from Chicago whose life unravels after a terrifying disappearance.
Parallels and Contrasts with “Succession”
Marissa Irvine shares surface similarities with Siobhan Roy. Both are portrayed by Sarah Snook and both inhabit privileged worlds filled with subtle elegance and quiet luxury. Yet Marissa’s character is shaped by her identity as a mother, a contrast to Shiv, who only began to consider motherhood at the end of Succession.
The Storyline
Adapted by Megan Gallagher from Andrea Mara’s 2021 novel, the series opens with a chilling moment: when Marissa arrives to collect her five-year-old son, Milo (played by Duke McCloud), she discovers he’s missing. This sets off a tense kidnapping drama that touches on every parent’s deepest fear.
Performance and Production
For Sarah Snook, who is also an executive producer, All Her Fault marks her first lead television role since her acclaimed HBO performance ended over two years ago. The series offers her space to show emotional depth as she portrays a frantic mother navigating grief and desperation.
“All Her Fault” allows Snook to emote with full intensity, sobbing with fear and gasping in horror as Marissa’s desperate search for Milo unfolds through inevitable twists.
Final Impression
Although All Her Fault presents a familiar formula within the so-called “rich mom” subgenre, it benefits from Snook’s compelling portrayal, adding emotional substance to the straightforward suspense plot.
Author’s summary: A solid yet predictable motherhood thriller elevated by Sarah Snook’s expressive performance and emotional range.
