It's All Her Fault

It leaves the station fast. Much quicker than you imagine. This 8-part whodunnit doesn’t break any boundaries, but the three-dimensional characters really keep you engaged.

The nuance of character leaves you guessing. Almost wants to have you saying out loud, though camera pauses to make you question if it’s a plot detail. It has mostly subtle energy for you to not unravel the plot. But if you do pre-determine plot outcomes, you don’t feel disappointed — but rather proud you were paying attention.

Sarah Snook undoubtedly steals the show in this episode. Her performance is heart-breakingly captivating. In brief outline: when her son vanishes after a playdate at the park, a mother is thrown into a desperate search to uncover the truth behind his disappearance.

As with most dramas, there are days it could be argued it’s too long. It might work more captivatingly. But having eight episodes does add a few interesting subplots that let the show breathe a touch more and help tie up the ending in a much more cleanly.

Michael Peña’s character (Detective Navarro) has an interesting subplot. He adds context into his feelings toward the case. In a world of black and white — right and wrong — this show says context matters. And is there such thing as harm and justification?

In a world of such divide, where do we draw the line when good people need to do bad things for the world to reset to its good state?

Plenty of twists and turns. What people will do for love, family — is there hope? Is all fair in love and war?

The palette was moody, and a compliment to the brilliant soundtrack.

I thoroughly enjoyed.
