Season 1 Review: But for most of Apples Never Fall’s seven episodes, the Delaneys feel like they were pulled off a rack. From all their soul-searching, revelations, and regrets, they emerge barely worn, nearly unwrinkled. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Apples Never Fall” is definitely watchable, but its plot jumps off the deep end and there are so many implausible moments you’ll feel like you were duped of your time. Read full review

The Daily BeastColeman SpildeMar 13, 2024
Season 1 Review: Apples Never Fall wastes a supremely talented cast—including the great Annette Bening, who was just up for an Oscar a few days ago—on a show that is essentially two mildly interesting bookend episodes, with a whole bunch of rotten apple mush sandwiched between. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The acting is inconsistent (even Neill’s hotheaded performance can verge on John McEnroe camp), and the directing workmanlike. All of which might have been forgivable if the script, from premise to characters to the execution of big plot twists, wasn’t such a disaster. Read full review
