From Succession to Suspense: Sarah Snook's Gripping New Role
Fans of the hit series Succession will find it difficult to picture Sarah Snook as anyone other than the sharp and sophisticated Shiv Roy. However, the acclaimed actress has now taken on a dramatically different role that is compelling audiences to binge-watch the entire series in one go.
Since her character ultimately did not inherit the Roy empire but became the wife of the successor, Tom Wambsgans, played by Matthew Macfadyen, Snook has embarked on a new project. This show is powerful enough to divert attention away from the world of dysfunctional family drama.
A Parent's Worst Nightmare Unfolds
The new series, titled All Her Fault, immerses viewers into the psyche of a parent's ultimate fear. Similar to the drama The Missing, this heart-wrenching story centres on the abduction of a child.
Based on the bestselling novel by Andrea Mara, the adaptation has been relocated from its original Irish setting to the United States. It transports viewers into the privileged life of Marissa, portrayed by Sarah Snook. While the character of Shiv Roy may be gone, Snook's wardrobe in this series exudes a similar sense of quiet luxury.
Marissa's seemingly perfect life with her husband, Peter, played by Jake Lacy of The White Lotus fame, is completely upended when their young son, Milo, is kidnapped. The nightmare begins when Marissa arrives to collect her five-year-old from a playdate with a new school friend. A woman she has never met answers the door and denies any knowledge of Milo or the playdate.
What starts as a few panicky minutes swiftly turns into agonising hours, with no evidence or leads concerning Milo's whereabouts. His disappearance rapidly escalates into a major police investigation and becomes a huge story in the press. The very title of the show, All Her Fault, clearly indicates where the blame is initially directed.
TV Fans Can't Stop Watching
This terrifying scenario forces Marissa to take matters into her own hands, desperately trying to piece together what happened and find her son. For those familiar with Andrea Mara's book, the television show faithfully preserves the famously unpredictable sequence of twists. This has been confirmed by early viewers who have already tuned in.
According to Google reviews, television fans have been devouring this tense thriller. One viewer, Leah Souder, admitted to watching all eight episodes in one sitting. She commented, 'I’m usually good at predicting endings but this one was really really interesting, well thought out and perfectly executed.' She awarded the series '10s across the board on everything' and highly recommended it to anyone who enjoys suspenseful shows.
The praise continues with other viewers. Debbie Ginsburg wrote, 'This was one of the best series that I have seen in a while… Keeping you guessing until the very last second.' Another reviewer, Victoria Johnston, simply stated, 'So far, amazing!!! Storyline, acting, suspense, substance!!'
All Her Fault is available to watch on Sky Atlantic in the UK and on Peacock in the US.
