Gary Oldman was originally set to cast, but he was replaced by Kevin Kline

Story

The series follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a TV documentary journalist whose job is to expose the transgressions of long-respected institutions. In several episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium-length telephoto lens. Such a lens would be unable to focus on close-up subjects like selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine.

At its core, it’s a revenge story

Damn! I had no idea what I was in for when I started watching 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.

Blanchett, as always, is fantastic here and Kline also delivers a solid performance

Blanchett stars as Catherine, a journalist whose secrets from her past come back to haunt her in alarming ways, forcing her to confront that past as it wreaks havoc on her entire life. This was a masterfully told story, taking us on a fascinating journey of discovery as the audience learns (sometimes in vivid detail) about the “events” of Catherine’s past. It was surprising to see Sacha Baron Cohen in a more serious role, but he did it justice.

But boy, am I glad I stuck around

Despite a few minor flaws, I highly recommend this series if you enjoy character drama with a bit of added tension/intrigue. Note: There are some pretty graphic depictions of sex/intimacy shown in various episodes. It’s not action-packed, and it took about half an episode (about 30 minutes) before I was finally “hooked” on the story.

Video review coming soon
