Their relationship stagnated after both retired and family life plunged into despair when Joy goes missing. As the weeks go by and she fails to return, the children have to come to terms with one, horrifying reality - that maybe their father killed her. Those fears are exasperated by local gossip mongers and neighbors who claim to have heard an argument on the night before Joy vanished into thin air.

Secrets can harm any family...

Apples Never Fall is a complex story which looks at human relationships and the intricate dynamics, pecking orders which are established within them as well as the simmering feuds that never wane. As Joy, played by Annette Bening notes: “You can spend your lifetime with someone, as a wife, or as a mother. But you can never really know who they are”. As family tensions start to rise, both Stan and the children: Amy, Troy, Brooke and Logan, are forced to confront their pasts and the secrets that they have guarded along the way. Each of of the seven episodes focuses on a family member and features stellar performances from Bening and Sam Neill (Stan Delaney) as well as the four siblings Alison Brie (Amy), Jake Lacy (Troy), Conor Merrigan Turner (Logan) and Essie Randles (Brooke).

The series has a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 37 reviews, with one highlighting: “Apples Never Fall presents intriguing questions, but its biggest strength lies not in its mystery but in the relationships between its characters”.
