Loved “All Her Fault”? These 5 Twisty Thrillers Will Keep You Up All Night

I have a confession to make. I watched All Her Fault before I read it. I was clearly the target demographic for Peacock’s newest thriller starring Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning, and after watching countless teasers and even seeing a bus in New York City wrapped corner to corner in…

Non-spoiler alert. When Amazon’s blockbuster hit series, Modern Love, was picked up for a second season, there was absolutely no surprise in my house.
