It can be disorienting to watch the Paramount+ limited series “Little Disasters” so soon after the surprise breakout success of Peacock’s “All Her Fault,” because the two shows share so many story beats and influences. (Though technically, “Little Disasters” got there first; Paramount+ aired it in the UK and Ireland back in May, and is only now staging a stateside release.) Both are based on novels. Both take place among an affluent milieu of anxious mothers. Both begin with a child coming into harm’s way, then follow the child’s caretaker as she spins out into frantic paranoia.
