Movie #3259 "Apples Never Fall" (Peacock) I read this book and really liked it --- I am a big fan of the author ("Big Little Lies" etc) so when I saw this series was made on the book and that it had Annette Bening in the starring role, I decided to watch it. I am glad I did because the film had even more action than the film, which I remember was more a slow burn --- waiting around to find out what happened to mom with evidence pointing to all the possibilities. The series changed the birth order of the kids and added a couple more pieces of baggage for each one, but those weren't major differences. The stranger, Savanah, had a do-over to her character a bit, to make the action come more alive, so I enjoyed that as well. And the ending was better to me than the book because it seemed more real and authentic. Was it worth watching 7 episodes at about an hour each? not sure. I liked the story and it didn't seem that long to me, but maybe not for others? I'd give it a 4 out of 5. I felt the mystery worked in both book and t.v. series.
