Need some good November telly to watch during the cold autumn evenings? Look no further, as the internet is absolutely raving about a new crime drama.

Fans have been 'hooked' by the 'brilliant' TV show's many twists and turns, but just to warn you, it might make you angrier than you were before putting it on.

We're talking about All Her Fault, a miniseries thriller by Peacock, based on the best-selling book by Andrea Mara.

The nail-biting show, which has bagged some impressive reviews, stars Sarah Snook, Jake Lacy, Dakota Fanning, Sophie Lillis and Abby Elliot, to name a few.

When Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) goes to pick up her young son Milo from his first playdate with a boy at his new school, the woman who answers the door has never seen or heard of either Marissa or her son - beginning every parent's worst nightmare.

As Marissa and her husband Peter (Jake Lacy) begin a desperate search for their son, their family starts to come apart at the seams. Hooked yet?

With her friend Jenny Kaminski (Dakota Fanning) being the only person that Marissa can count on, the two women form a close and unlikely alliance and together they hunt for Milo, uncovering deep family secrets that alter the course of both their lives forever.

The show also has quite the hidden meaning, as it has you looking at all the female characters with suspicion, when really, our attention should be on the men.

One Twitter user questioned: "Ok, so the title is ‘all her fault’ but in only seeing sorry ass husbands. What’s that about? #allherfault."

To which someone else quickly pointed out: "Have you not heard of irony? The point of the title' - if you've watched already, you'll know what we're talking about!

Others have rushed to social media to praise the drama and insist everyone else go and binge it, with some fans even giving it the high title of 'the best thing they watched this year'.

One Twitter user penned: "I’m putting y'all ON “All Her Fault” from START to FINISH. This series had me HOOKED. I’m talking woah. This is what TV is supposed to feel like. The twists and turns truly don’t stop. Just off the first 10 mins alone you gonna sit up."

While a second agreed: "Nah all her fault is one of the best things I watched this year if not the best."

A third shared shocked GIFs, writing: "How All Her Fault had me for eight straight episodes."

As a fourth fan said: "I binged the limited series ALL HER FAULT on Peacock. It is an entertaining mystery with strong performances that peels back its layers gradually. While the story gets somewhat far-fetched at a point or two, the pieces come together nicely, leading to its satisfying finale."

While another, also referencing the clever title, quipped: "The gaslighting and manipulation of damn near every woman on the show is very fantastic. Especially with the title being All Her Fault. This show is brilliant! #AllHerFault."

Others chimed in with: "All her fault plot twists" and "Started All Her Fault. Now, THIS is how you do good upper class mess."

We can't wait to watch!
