Reviews for Disclaimer

Eeeek

This dragged on for 6 episodes to the point that the final one felt meaningless. At least we always know it’s men having the audacity that is the true crime. In the end, that’s not enough to justify a plot where the central issue is made to be miscommunication. I will say that I was particularly imp

Too pretentious for me. I also felt like the title and the trigger warning made the whole thing pretty predictable.

There's craft here but the plotting of the show was just awful. Setting us up for a huge twist reveal only to make that reveal obvious from almost the first moment of the show is a ginormous misstep. I hope Cuaron goes back to movies because his foray into TV was a big miss.

Big disappointment! Nice to see Kevin Kline again, though.

Alfonso Cuaron's prestige soap opera??? Was kinda vibing with this despite its non-functioning mixture of pulpy soap opera material with prestige tv aesthetics and frequent detours of writerly stupidity (including brutally expository voice-over, unironic lines like "you're so cancelled, Catherine!",

A glossy, gorgeously shot dumpster fire of massive proportions that is still incredibly watchable. Commits WAY too much time to the past elements, and squanders Cate Blanchett way too much. I get why that was done but after a while I found it to be a bit grating. It’s definitely quite competent, if

A long way for a short trip In retrospect, I should have more prepared for how Alfonso Cuarón can drag out a story but I simply wasn’t ready for how long it took to tell a story THIS simple. It isn’t that Disclaimer is bad, it’s just that it should have been a feature length film instead of a 5h45m

Wanted to like this but was seriously disappointed. Over done and shmaltzy.

this. should. have. been. three. episodes. long. 
(this got one extra star for cate blanchett)

yeah i hate to be mean but this was really bad lol. cuarón is a talented film director, but he managed to make an interesting enough premise into a nearly 7 hour drawn out borefest. little characterization and i’m actually surprised about how little actually happened over the course of the 7 episode
