As Cosmopolitan, we basically deal in deepest darkest secrets, and you, dear reader, have a lot of them. You've told us your awkward sex stories. You've filled us in on your group chat drama. And on Friday, March 15—National True Confessions Day, ofc—you took "Cosmo Confessions" to a whole new level, thanks to Peacock.
To celebrate the debut of Peacock's new limited series Apples Never Fall, which is all about family secrets and drama, we erected a *srsly* gigantic billboard in New York City's Times Square to air our readers' anonymous family confessions on the show's themes (guilt, jealousy, manipulation, shame—you know, all the good stuff). We collected them via social media polls and anonymous admissions, then blew them all up on the biggest screen we could get our hands on.
Meanwhile, one of Cosmo's all-star assistant editors, Annabel Iwegbue, took to the streets to ask passersby the same juicy questions. Watch the video above to see some of their surprising answers to questions like: "If you and your sibling weren't related, would you chill?" and "On a scale of 1–10, how good is your mom at guilt-tripping you?"
Apples Never Fall, based on the best-selling novel by Liane Moriarty, follows West Palm Beach couple Stan and Joy Delaney (played by Sam Neill and Annette Bening), who are experiencing mixed emotions about having sold their tennis academy to enjoy retirement when an injured young woman, Savannah (Georgia Flood), knocks on their door. When Joy disappears shortly after, the Delaneys' four adult children (played by Jake Lacy, Allison Brie, Essie Randles, and Conor Merrigan-Turner) are left to discover some uncomfortable truths.
After you watch our recap video above, read our explainer on what *really* happened in this mysterious series.
