Apples Never Fall should appeal to fans of emotionally rich family dramas full of secrets, in the tradition of series such as Big Little Lies and The Undoing. The story, a blend of mystery and family introspection, will appeal to viewers who appreciate stories where every character hides a dark side. Fans of Liane Moriarty 's work will find a faithful adaptation of her novel, while enjoying the nuanced performances of a talented cast. On the other hand, those who prefer more fast-paced or action-oriented series may find the contemplative pace of the story less engaging.
