It’s on my ever-growing list of things to try. I like the premise, so am hopeful. Plus the BBC has a track record of decent drama. My heart sinks when a good cast and promising story turns out to be on Channel Five. I don’t know why the channel should matter, but I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a C5 series to the end.

I gave up too. Too long drawn out and too much skipping back and forth, with nothing really happening.

I've read the book, and love Sam Neill (recommend watching him in The Twelve on ITVX - brilliant) so will be watching Apples.

I’ve just finished bingeing it.

It took me a while to decide whether to continue to watch it but I am glad I did. A pity it was on after Strictly because for me that was too long.

I am looking forward to next week's episode.

I watched the first episode tonight and enjoyed it. I love Annette Benning who I think is an underused actor and of course Sam Neil is always worth watching. The mysteries were well set up and I look forward to the next episode.

I'm really liking it and can see the resemblance to several Australian series.. which I also enjoyed immensely..

I enjoyed the book, so will give it a try.

The book was great, can't understand why the location has been changed .. but anything with Sam Neill is a must-watch for me so I'm really spoilt, having recently binge-watched the second series of The Twelve.

Another Liane Moriarty book where the location is changed from Australia to the USA (although I think it was filmed on the Gold Coast).

A good cast, so will give it a try.

Yes I’m going to give it a go.

Sam NEILL And Annette Bening star in this 7 part drama when the Mom goes missing…seems intriguing… anyone else watching.
