Cate Blanchett stars in the acclaimed director’s new TV series, a thriller about a woman whose life is upended by a mysterious novel.

Disclaimer” pulls the rug out from the audience before they’ve had the chance to get settled. There’s no building of empathy for its central character, Cate Blanchett’s Catherine Ravenscroft.

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.
