This week’s required watching is Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning starrer All Her Fault. The show is like a trashy thriller that is too good to put down; each of its eight episodes ends on a cliffhanger. There are many twists and turns, often clumsily woven in, and the end comes pretty much out of left field. There’s been much chatter online about its cheesy dialogues, the lack of pacing, the unrealistic homes, and the rich-mom tropes that this show falls back on. But for all its faults, what stood out for us were its truth bombs on all things parenting. Scroll for five moments from the show that have got moms everywhere nodding in empathy.


And for those in Mumbai, this weekend’s required food trek is The Silver Train in Lower Parel. This new-ish restaurant leans into royal whims, letting diners order in fractions and piece-sized portions for a table with no leftovers. It serves a jadi-booti negroni (scented with vetiver and betel leaf) and offers zero-ABV drinks. Every dish comes as a tiny, single-serve portion so guests can keep adding to their main silver thali, tasting their way through heirloom recipes and royal favourites. For that and more on The Nod, scroll below.
