Five shows like ‘All Her Fault’ that are just as addictive

all her fault

If you don't want to spend an entire day sucked into an addictive television hole, we'd suggest not turning on All Her Fault. The thrilling mystery – which stars Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning – charts a mother who turns up to collect her son from a playdate only to find he's not there. What follows is a chilling story about a missing child, intertwined with themes of maternal sacrifice, family secrets, and the uneasy truth that you can never really know the people closest to you.

But if, like us, you have managed to race through every episode, and you're left wanting something else to watch, we've got you covered. Below, five series like All Her Fault that are guaranteed to have the same addictive effect.

 

1. Disclaimer

Where to watch: Apple TV+

When journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett) discovers a mysterious novel has been written about a life-altering secret from her past, her seemingly perfect existence starts to crumble. As she tries to track down who wrote it — and how they know so much — old memories surface and the line between truth and fiction disappears. Each episode peels back another layer of her story, revealing that the person she’s most afraid of might not be who she thinks. Like so many good shows, there's an unbelievable twist towards the end.

 

2. The Undoing

Where to watch: Binge, HBO Max

Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman) has it all — a thriving career, a loving husband (played by none other than Hugh Grant), and a son at an elite New York school. Then a brutal murder rocks her community, and her husband vanishes. When the truth about his double life comes out, Grace is forced to protect her son and face the possibility that the man she married could be a killer.

 

3. Little Fires Everywhere

Where to watch: Disney+, SBS On Demand

Set in a perfectly ordered Ohio suburb, the story follows two mothers — the controlled and privileged Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon) and the free-spirited artist Mia Warren (Kerry Washington). When a custody battle divides their town, long-buried secrets about motherhood, race and privilege come out. The show builds slow tension through small choices that, over time, spiral out of control.

 

4. Behind Her Eyes

Where to watch: Netflix

Single mum Louise starts an affair with her psychiatrist boss, David — and then accidentally befriends his wife, Adele. What begins as a very unusual love triangle evolves into a psychological puzzle. If you like your thrillers with a side of “wait, what just happened?”, this one’s for you.

 

5. Anatomy of a Scandal

Where to watch: Netflix

When a powerful British MP is accused of sexual assault, his wife Sophie (Sienna Miller) tries to stand by him — until evidence begins to suggest she might not know the full story. The courtroom scenes, flashbacks and shifting perspectives make it a gripping watch about power, and the public fallout of a private scandal.
