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.

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!

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+.

A visual interpretation of Renee Knight's novel by the simple genius of Alfonso Cuarón, approaching the material with a pure cinematic sensibility, where after only 2 episodes the viewer is addicted to the mystery within the story structure, revealing thin layers at a time on the darkness of human behaviour with an added tinge of masochistic humor.

The brilliance of the series is in the unusual casting of going against type, starting with Sacha Baron Cohen in a dramatic role as the pompous husband. And to top it all off is Kevin Kline as the conniving former private school teacher who finds a second lease in life with his torturous game of vengeance. Whereas Blanchett fits into any role and does it with abundance, as the actors go full tilt in this artful melodrama.

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!!)

I'm not sure what compels people to review a show before they've finished it, unless perhaps it's just so obviously terrible as to warrant comment. Disclaimer isn't by any means bad, at any point in the series, and the ending is exceptionally good.

Everything about this series is in fact well done. The acting is top notch, the characters are very well written, the actors all knock it out of the park, the cinematography and pacing are excellent, and just kudos on a well put together piece of work.

I haven't read the novel and therefore can't comment as to the adaptation, but I can say the show kept me suspended throughout. Obvious breadcrumbs as to the twists were few and far between, and I consider myself fairly intuitive in catching them early. So again, kudos to the entire team and well done. Apple TV has some serious bangers in the catalog, and this one is no exception.

Dang! I was not aware of the experience I was in for when I started screening this AppleTV+ limited series starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. "Disclaimer" is based on a novel of the same name by Renée Knight, and it was written for the screen and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. At its core, this is a revenge story. Blanchett stars as Catherine, a journalist whose secrets of her past resurface in an alarming way, causing her to confront that past as it wreaks havoc on her entire life. This was a masterfully told story, taking us along a fascinating journey of discovery as the audience is shown (sometimes in vivid detail) the "events" of Catherine's past. Blanchett, as always, is fantastic in here and Kline puts in a solid performance as well. It was surprising to see Sacha Baron Cohen in a more serious role, but he did it justice. Despite a couple/few minor nitpicks, I highly recommend this series if you like character dramas with some added tension/intrigue. Note: There are some pretty graphic depictions of sex/intimacy shown throughout various episodes. This isn't action-packed, and it did take about half an episode (roughly 30 minutes) before I eventually got "hooked" onto the story. But boy am I glad I stuck around. Video review to come shortly.

It could easily have been reduced to a banal two-hour film. Sex scenes, I would say, definitely too explicit and strong for a TV series, sometimes even less is enough to understand what is happening. I am not a bigot, on the contrary 😉, but I believe that on the visual side sex should always be treated more lightly, we all know how it works 😂. I approached the series thinking of a thriller, with which it has very little to do, we are faced with a drama. The story is well told, the characters well developed and the acting absolutely exceptional, I also like the off-screen speech, it gives a "poetic" and "introspective" touch to the characters directly involved. I still think that a film would have been more appropriate.

I can't wait till the next episode! I am on episode 4 and this show is merely television at its best. Pristine performances by Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline and Sacha Baron Cohen. The cinematography is better than in most movies these days. People dissing the show are not familiar with what amazing television is I guess! The director won 5 Oscars,7 Baftas and 3 Golden Globes.what more do we need to understand it's great TV? Do yourself a favor and ignore the nasty reviews which were probably written by some angry people who enjoy stupid tv shows. I should have started it later so I would have had the whole season to binge! ;-)

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.

I'd like to thank the reviewers who noted that the finale ties everything together. Around episode 5, I was wondering if I wanted to continue, as some of the characters were becoming crazy and/or cruel. After watching the finale, I can recall various clues throughout the series that tie into the big picture, and I actually want to watch the series again with my fresh perspective. This series was very well done. I did find myself wondering if the various pet cats would become a significant part of the story - they were shown a LOT - but apparently not. The acting was excellent, and I definitely did not have the final twist on my Bingo card. This is well worth the watch.

Disclaimer, Alfonso Cuarón's first straight-to-streaming limited series, is a peculiar item. It seems designed in such a way that I should adore it: a drama about horrible people being horrible to each other, containing superb camera work and fairly audacious sexual content. Yet, a lot of it doesn't work; in fact, a number of critics who usually bat for Cuarón absolutely despised it.

A popular point of criticism is that its inciting incident isn't as dramatic as the author insists. The show is told nonlinearly; here, some may argue, this is merely a gimmick to make the story seem more special than it is. I will say that I enjoyed trying to piece the story together and, once it began to make sense to me, see what other secrets were about to be revealed. At times, however, Disclaimer plays more like a case of "failing to explain things" and less like a case of putting a puzzle before us.

Being a Cuarón production, there are several well-executed oners but none as breathtaking as the ones in Roma or Children of Men. (He here works with two cinematographers, Emmanuel Lubezki and Bruno Delbonnel, and while their respective styles are rarely juxtaposed in any especially striking way, it can be fun to try to pinpoint which shot belongs to whom.) The greatest annoyance is all the incessant, over-present voiceover work that somehow manages to over-communicate things while other -- more vital -- things are left unclear. (In the finale, there are interesting implications vis-a-vis which voice narrates which moment, so I guess there's that.) I liked a lot of what I saw -- e.g Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline's marvelous performances -- but for the most part, I was reminded of how much I'd rather watch something like Nocturnal Animals or Andrew Haigh's 45 Years.

I appreciate what it represents more than anything else: a streaming company giving an auteur the floor to just go crazy on us. Alas, this particular company evidently isn't that great at marketing.

Tell me honestly, how many of you had heard of this show before opening this page? Or that there's a new season of Silo coming out? Or that there is a show called Silo?

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+.

I have never left a review before but felt compelled after just finishing this series. What an incredible piece of storytelling. Not only was this visually beautiful but its pace and depth caught me. What started as an intriguing tale, landed with a sucker punch that will resonate for a long while yet. I feel like I just learned some uncomfortable truths about the human condition through this gripping drama. Whilst the characters may not be that lovable or even likeable, the acting is good. Solid character portrayals of flawed people caught up in a timeless tale of justice, deceit and the blind painful love and loss.
