Dive into the world of Liane Moriarty's 'Apples Never Fall' — the drama that leaves you craving more, even if it’s just for the juicy secrets!

If you’re a fan of Liane Moriarty’s work, you might have popcorn ready to roll as her latest adaptation, *Apples Never Fall*, makes its way to our screens. Starring Hollywood heavyweights Annette Bening and Sam Neill, this show is creating quite the buzz, though not all of it is tasty. Set in a world where family secrets bubble just underneath the surface, it’s like watching your favorite soap opera but with more ‘dramatic' pause and less engaging content than you’d hope for. Critics are saying it lacks the crunch, leaving viewers feeling a bit like they’ve bitten into a bland apple.

While it’s being compared to Moriarty's previous hits like *Big Little Lies*, some are clear that *Apples Never Fall* is a cheap imitation, a pastiche of overused tropes and plotlines. Filled with family melodrama, this new series focuses on the Delaney family, as their carefully curated lives crumble and dark secrets come to light. The drama heats up, with the usual thrilling whispers of betrayal and revenge. However, the show feels more like an overripe fruit left on the counter too long—enticing, but ultimately disappointing.

On the flip side, the anticipation is palpable! This adaptation is the third major work from Moriarty, and with her previous successes, audiences are ready for her signature storytelling, albeit this time around some viewers are hopeful that the writing might pack more punch than the initial reviews suggest. As the BBC One show airs with high expectations, audiences might just find themselves tuning in for the sake of curiosity or to see how it stacks up against its predecessors. The question remains: can it unearth a delightful surprise, or will it leave viewers gasping for something more?

Now, here’s a juicy fact: Moriarty is an Australian author, and her stories often reflect the complexities of relationships, making them not only entertaining but relatable. This could mean that even the not-so-great adaptations might have something valuable hidden within. And here’s a cherry on top — if you’re a true lover of drama, keep your eyes peeled for incredible plot twists! After all, if *Big Little Lies* taught us anything, it’s that the truth can be far more captivating than fiction!
