When the cast for Apples Never Fall was announced, there was much anticipation that the series had the potential to be a riveting hit — and why wouldn't it? With five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening and two-time Emmy nominee Sam Neill leading the way playing a dysfunctional married couple, and The White Lotus season 1 and A Friend of the Family's Jake Lacy in the role of the oldest son, it was fair to have great expectations for Apples Never Fall.
While the aforementioned actors certainly delivered in their respective roles, they just weren't able to elevate the story of the series to the height of greatness.
