Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - Apples Never Fall - Miniseries

Apples Never Fall is the latest television miniseries based on a Liane Moriarty novel.

The miniseries landed in the USA on Peacock on mid-March, while landing on Binge the same time in Australia.

What's it all about this time around? Why is it set in the USA but filmed in Australia? EEEHHHHH

When matriarch Joy Delaney (Annette Bening) suddenly goes missing, her 4 adult kids are left to piece together everything they thought they knew about their parents.

So who else stars in this Binge acquired series? Well Sam Neill stars opposite Bening as Stan Delaney, the patriarch of the Delaney family and Joy's husband.

They (the parents in this family drama) are joined by The White Lotus star Jake Lacy as Troy Delaney (Joy and Stan's wealthy older son who is a venture capitalist), Conor Merrigan Turner as Logan Delaney (Joy and Stan's younger son who almost became a professional tennis player, but now manages a marina), Essie Randles as Brooke Delaney (Joy and Stan's youngest child who runs her own physical therapy business) & Alison Brie as Amy Delaney (Joy and Stan's oldest child who is a spiritual life coach).

They are joined by Georgia Flood as mysterious Savannah, Jeanine Serralles as Detective Elena Camacho, Dylan Thuraisingham as Detective Ethan Remy, 

Not the best Moriarty novel turned TV series, I can't see this getting switched from a miniseries to a series like Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers.

The seven episodes felt a little bloated. A more sharp to the point four or shorter episode six episode run would have gotten to the point in a more snappy manner.

The series lacked something. More to the point Peacock content is really not popping. With Pete Davidson's Bupkis will now not move ahead with a second season, so all faith is in Poker Face (need to catch up with that over winter), Twisted Metal returning for a second season and Dr Death possibly continuing.

Sadly for Aussies watching Peacock content, legacy content lives on Stan (Poker Face, Twisted Metal, Dr Death and Bel-Air's reboot) while new titles like Based on a True Story live on Binge.

Oh the streaming acquired content agreements.

Apples Never Fall will likely feature on the second half of my RATED listed for the first quarters streaming this year. That will land on Monday/Tuesday!

Happy Easter!
