Disclaimer

After an intriguing start Disclaimer quickly becomes a collection of plotholes and unlikely behaviour, beautifully sown together by a great director. Unfortunately. Cuarón did not only direct the series, but also wrote the scenario. After a few episodes it just becomes annoying to see so many unrealistic events and reactions unfolding.

But as you know there much be some plot twist somewhere you hang in there to the last episode, only to be confronted with not only disturbing events but also a ending that tops all previous episodes in its level of unbelievability.

In contrast, the filming is extremely good. Cuarón knows what he is doing and uses all the tricks in his book to create great looking scenes.

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 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+.

Never read the book, so judging the series as a standalone. The series is way too long, stretched way too much. It was intriguing and mysterious for the first few episodes, but by episode five, I was like, "Oh my god, just conclude it already.". Catherine's silence/constantly being interrupt while trying to tell her side feels like just a plot mechanism to keep the story going. Clearly setting up for a "twist".

The constant, detailed sex scenes are just ew. Literally porn. I don't mind sex scenes, but if I want to watch "detailed" sex scenes that last ten minutes, my first choice for that would not be Apple TV+.
