Disclaimer 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 best-selling 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 both her own 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

We finished it last night. Incredible show. A bit pretentious with it's editing and narration but it works and it does have function (not just style). The entire cast knocks it out of the park. You really hate some of these characters… at different stages as the story plays out. They totally land the ending. Would write more about it but it's so well woven that I'd just risk spoiling it for people.

Watched it until the end as kept hoping it would get better. Easily the worst show I've watched this year.

Didn't get past ep 1. The voicovers, the dreadfully annoying characters (especially the younger couple), ugh I hated every aspect of it. Truly awful.
