Most critics like All Her Fault, and nearly all of them like Sarah Snook. Her performance as the mother whose child goes missing is the one thing the reviews agree on, praised even by those who care little for the series around her, with Dakota Fanning, Sophia Lillis and Jake Lacy also named in support. The warmest reviews find the kidnap plot tight and the twists well handled, and several credit the series with saying something about working motherhood, privilege and the habit of blaming women without turning preachy. The reservations gather around pacing and construction: some find the plotting patchy and the episodes too many, others find the reveals rushed. The spread is wide. Variety stands furthest from the majority, calling the series a middling example of the rich-mother mystery with shallow commentary and laborious pacing, and IndieWire treats it as trashy fun that runs too long, with Snook blameless. Nobody dislikes it outright. ## The Guardian Rating 5/5. 7 November 2025. The critic praises the series as an extraordinarily tight child-kidnap drama that expertly balances multiple elements without becoming preachy or baggy. Snook's performance as the desperate mother is singled out as a highlight in this well-crafted thriller about working motherhood and privilege.

The critic hails it as a misandrist masterpiece that gathers fury against the patriarchy while remaining compulsively watchable. It singles out the unexpected friendship and alliance that forms between the two central women, Marissa and Jenny.

Despite a general aversion to missing-child dramas, the critic finds this one highly entertaining, exciting, and superbly acted with sparkling performances and strong twists. The script's mix of wealth, family drama, and competitive parenting is highlighted positively.

The critic finds the domestic mystery solidly constructed and sharply observed. It offers clever reveals and bracing commentary on maternal guilt and paternal arrogance, anchored by excellent lead performances.

The review describes a thematically rich but uneven and shakily constructed thriller that probes society's tendency to blame women. It singles out the strong performances by Snook, Fanning, and Lillis as anchors amid patchy plotting and tedious elements.

The critic calls the series a middling entry in the rich-mom mystery genre. Snook delivers strong emotional work, but the pacing is laborious, the plotting clunky, and the social commentary shallow.

The critic calls the series a trashy-fun whodunit that overstays its welcome but finds Sarah Snook blameless for its flaws. It singles out Jake Lacy's hatable performance as the selfish husband Peter.

The series delivers a parent's worst nightmare premise with strong performances, especially from Sarah Snook, but feels too brisk in its plotting and reveals.
