‘Apples Never Fall’ Review: Annette Bening Goes Missing in Peacock’s Wonky Limited Series

By now, viewers should have an idea of what to expect from a limited series adaptation of a Liane Moriarty novel. In the first two dramatic interpretations of her work, “Big Little Lies” in 2017 and “Nine Perfect Strangers” in 2021, audiences were treated to twisting tales featuring ensemble casts, intertwined secrets, explorations of wealth and class, and morally gray characters. So it’s no surprise that “Apples Never Fall,” the newest dramatic entry into the Moriarty canon, delivers all of those familiar components in a new configuration: this time, nearly all the main players in the twisting tale are members of the same family.
