Little Disasters

Matt Roush says...

If the Golden Globe-nominated All Her Fault wasn’t already enough of a parent’s nightmare, this gripping six-part limited series (available as a binge) is enough to give any mom and dad a few sleepless nights. Diane Kruger stars as “perfect mother” Jess, whose overprotective approach to her children (including extreme vaccine skepticism) comes under scrutiny when she brings her infant daughter to a London ER. The doctor on duty is her friend Liz (Jo Joyner), who can’t reconcile Jess’s explanation with the injuries she sees on little Betsey and reluctantly calls in social services. The fallout ripples not just through Jess’s family, but also affects Liz’s and that of their friend group, including the bohemian Mel (Emily Taaffe) and privileged Charlotte (Shelley Conn). In classic tradition, there are many secrets lurking beyond what happened to this unfortunate baby.
