I rarely leave reviews, but after seeing some of the baffling negative ones here, I had to share my thoughts. This show requires your undivided attention. If you're looking for something to have on in the background while scrolling through your phone, this is not the show for you.

The direction is outstanding, with Alfonso Cuarón's signature style evident throughout. His use of long, immersive shots combined with stellar performances from the cast, excellent sound design, and stunning cinematography makes for an incredible viewing experience.

It seems that some viewers may not have the patience or focus to follow the plot. Episode 1 throws you right into the action without much exposition, but if you pay close attention to the dialogue and just watch the show, things will start to fall into place. If you're still confused, Episode 2 will help to clarify some things

So far, this show has been fantastic. If it maintains this level of quality until the end, it has the potential to become a cult classic in the years to come.

Disclaimer" on Apple TV+ is a must-watch! The lighting and cinematography work beautifully together to create an immersive atmosphere that draws you in with every scene. The acting from the entire cast is stellar-each performance is nuanced and engaging, bringing depth to the complex storylines. A visually captivating and well-acted show that keeps you hooked from start to finish!

What truly sets "Disclaimer" apart is the seamless blend of tension and emotion throughout the series. The direction allows the characters to shine in moments of vulnerability, while the carefully crafted visuals enhance the storytelling. The lighting shifts effortlessly between dramatic and subtle, adding layers to the unfolding narrative. The cinematography is a standout, capturing both intimate close-ups and sweeping, atmospheric shots that heighten the suspense. Combined with an outstanding cast that delivers raw and powerful performances, this series is a masterclass in storytelling and visual artistry. A true gem on Apple TV+.

The movies starts off annoying and shaky, but it slowly builds into an intriguing story. I don't know if Alfonso has an enemy on IMDB, that accounts for the brutal and unfair 1-star ratings, but they are completely out of line. .

At first it doesn't seem like an outright mystery, more like a tragic drama. But you start to get the feeling that there is more to the story than the seemingly obvious good vs bad characters. It gets darker and more complex with each episode. To the point where I felt I had to come back here to change my original review, and add stars.

The cockroach situation is disturbing and telling.

Now for the grey cat. A minute detail, but this may be the first show I've ever seen actually depict a real cat/human relationship. How a cat is always by your side. Curious, mischievous, entertaining and tender. I really appreciate a film that doesn't caste the cat as an aloof or even as a dark presence. The grey cat in this movie has more charm than all the humans combined, and steals every scene he is in. Hope he gets an Oscar!

It's a great series and I'm all in!

I'm in an older Gen X demographic, and I can totally understand why younger generations would not connect with this material. I have been through relationships, marriage, divorce, and this drama is similar in many respects to events I have been through, and so I can appreciate the writing and characters a bit more than others would.

Having said that, straight up this is a solid 10 of 10 show for me. First of all, it is limited. The story will not drag out in the quest for more cash. There are seven solid episodes, and it is WELL worth the time invested to view.

No spoilers, but as the story progresses, you will see that there is a layer of complexity woven into the story that pays off the further you get down the journey of these characters. To put it plainly, what feels like a bit of a slower drama that is above average builds and builds until you cannot stop watching by the end.

I will leave it at that: adults that appreciate a good drama will be riveted and rewarded for viewing this. Enjoy!

Some of the negative reviews seem to suggest the good reviews are a "conspiracy", unable to grasp the simple concept that we all have different tastes.

There are plot holes for sure, but the story hits you hard when you realize every character is a despicable human being, and you see the horrible cruelty, ego, and hate that fester in the human psyche. It's well acted, and the story develops impressively.

The 7/10 score reflects the plot holes, all the things that happened between Katherine and Jonathan were only witnessed by them, yet somehow the grieving mother wrote it up as if she saw every moment, and then it just became fact in the show.

But it is powerful, the emotions it instills, the wonderful way you catch yourself feeling sorry for one of the characters, only to realize they are despicable.

Well worth a watch (I am not a bot or an employee of the production company in case any conspiracy theorists are here).....(that's what THEY would say!!)
