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+.

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.

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 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.

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.

- TriviaIn a 2024 interview with The Playlist, Alfonso Cuarón spoke about how the 2 lead parts were cast: "When I was writing the screenplay, I thought of Cate Blanchett. I could only see Cate while I was writing. Luckily, Cate got involved in the project very early on. I finished the script and sent it to her. She agreed to do it, and then she became my creative partner. She was part of it, involved in every creative decision we made, all the way through the end of the show, including casting. She was the one who called me once we were discussing who could play Steven. She called and said, 'I'm just walking out of a dinner, and we were laughing and talking about Un poisson nommé Wanda (1988)' And I instantly said, 'Wait, do you mean Kevin Kline for the part?' She said, 'Yes, Kevin,' and that was how the idea of Kevin came through. So I contacted Kevin, and he was kind of a bit surprised, intrigued, and daunted, but he accepted it. Remember something: Kevin is an American actor, and he was playing a very specific British man, right?"
- GoofsIn multiple episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium length telephoto. Such a lens would be incapable of focusing on close-in subjects such as selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine.
