Apples Never Fall (2024 Melanie Marnich)

A woman (Annette Bening) goes missing and her children are worried. We then cut back and forward in 'then' and 'now' titling to investigate. I think writers of this sort of multi part thing are now incapable of telling chronological stories. 

A seven part series based on a novel by Liane Moriarty.

The family comprises volatile tennis star Sam Neill, kids Jake Lacy (successful banker), Conor Merrigan Turner (likes boats), Essie Randles (physiotherapist) and Alison Brie (flake). Georgia Flood is the annoying non-existent person who comes to stay. Jeanine Serralles is the detective. Many of these are Australian, where the show was filmed.

It's implausible, red herringy and not worth the time it takes.
