The Evening Standard: Apple TV+ series ‘Disclaimer’ is a ‘stylish, slick, and sexy psychological thriller’

“Disclaimer” streams exclusively on Apple TV+.
“Disclaimer,” which debuts on Apple TV+ on October 11th, is a gripping psychological thriller in seven chapters, starring Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. Written and directed by five-time Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón, “Disclaimer” is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Renée Knight. Acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett) built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others. When she receives a novel from an unknown author, she is horrified to realize she is now the main character in a story that exposes her darkest secrets.
As Catherine races to uncover the writer’s true identity, she is forced to confront her past before it destroys her life and her relationships with her husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and their son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The ensemble cast includes Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George and Hoyeon, and features Indira Varma as the narrator.:

When it comes to making gripping TV often all you need is a shaky relationship, a few skeletons in the closet, and high stakes. When placed in the hands of great actors, it usually equals a winning formula.
Apple TV+’s new series Disclaimer delivers on all of those, and throws in some seriously beautiful cinematography to boot. This is hardly surprising given that five-time Academy Award winning Alfonso Cuarón, who directed Gravity and Roma, wrote and directed Disclaimer, and once again he leans heavily into the visually stunning.
And, sure, there’s hardly anyone who’s ever entered into matrimony who wouldn’t empathise with the narrator’s line “marriage is delicate, not just yours, but all marriages. There’s a balance to maintain, and you think you’ve succeeded in keeping yours on course…”. In all other respects the central characters seem a world away from relatable.
No matter. It’s stylish, slick, sexy. And, as we all know, those things in tandem make for a compelling to watch.
