Mythical wife and I recently watched All Her Fault<\/em>, and to cut to the chase, I thought it was pretty good; but I could have one massive major fucking gripe about the show, it had nothing to do with the story, the acting, or any plot critiques, but the fact that the show was filmed and presented with a low-contrast filter that basically made the show nigh impossible at times, or at least, actually impossible to see what the fuck was going on at times.<\/span><\/p>\n

The above image might be slightly exaggerated, but it illustrates what many scenes throughout the show felt like when watching them.\u00a0 The contrast was so busted up that there are countless scenes where you\u2019re seeing moving silhouettes of people, and completely missing out on all sorts of bodily acting, facial expressions or reactions, and more than once, I found myself trying to tinker with my hardware\u2019s settings, to see if it was something wrong with my configuration, only to find out that it wasn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

A cursory Google search<\/a> revealed that I was not the only person who came to this revelation, and it\u2019s comforting to see that many others endured and felt the same things I did.\u00a0 As good as I thought the series was, I think it would\u2019ve been better had viewers been able to fucking see shit, especially when there\u2019s a lot of emotionally charged scenarios where it would\u2019ve been helpful to see expressions and reactions to dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n

But other than the visual flaws, the story, plot and acting were all high quality, and I thought the series was solid from a storytelling standpoint.\u00a0 It was almost laughable at just how lily white the cast and the scenarios were, and there\u2019s something to be said about how fast affluent white people are capable of unraveling, and the types of demons that they all must be hiding in their closets, based on just how fast shit hit the fan with most of the characters in the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point remains, you have a whole bunch of rich white people dealing with problems that stem with miscommunications with their nannies* and how fast they turn on each other when heat starts escalating, and everyone is driving around in Teslas, Rivians, Audis and BMWs throughout the Northside Chicago suburbs, and there are times where it truly feels really peak white people.<\/span><\/p>\n

*yes, I am aware of the irony of taking shots at rich white people with in-home child care considering I have an au pair, but y\u2019all need to understand just how fucking broke I am <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

However, what really made me feel like writing about the series, other than to trash their shitty visual execution, was the one thing that I never expected this show to have, that I will considerately hide behind the jump seeing as how it\u2019s just a giant fucking spoiler:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the main characters, Peter Irvine, is arguably one of the most deplorable, despicable, and worst characters in history.\u00a0 Like Joffrey Baratheon terrible, Skyler White bad (although I never really understood this one), or Jamie Dutton miserable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like, I knew nothing about All Her Fault two weeks ago, and immediately after watching it, Peter Irvine shoots right up to the top of the list of awful characters, strongly contesting his position on the Mt. Rushmore of turrible characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

So much, that I kind of feel bad for the actor, Jake Lacy, because of his portrayal of the character, I have to wonder that directors and casters in the future will only see him as capable of playing rich white assholes with overwhelming narcissism and control issues, seeing as how it\u2019s also not a far cry from the role he had in the first season of The White Lotus<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, if it gets him paid and working, play to your strengths, but there are crazier people all around the world that assume actors are basically the roles they play, and could react accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, the show does a good job of kind of painting Peter Irvine in a light that makes him seem suspicious and generally unlikeable from the onset.\u00a0 Once the situation and players involved start to become clear, my thought was that he was probably cheating on his wife, at the very least, among money laundering and\/or skimming in order to have a go-bag full of cash at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when the shit really starts to unfold, and all the truths start to emerge, Peter\u2019s character just continues to sink and sink and sink, and just when you think that he couldn\u2019t possibly be an even worst human being, something else comes up, and it gets to a point where all I can do is just laugh at just how horrible of a person that he is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like, full spoilers here on his character arc, what we have with Peter is:<\/span><\/p>\n
