Now that Disclaimer, written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, is finally streaming on Apple, we can at last really talk about it. Not all episodes have been let out, so I'll try not to give too many spoilers, but I'm pretty sure my colleagues have already ruined everything at Venice.

Disclaimer: this is important, mainly because it's the first thing that Cuarón has made in seven years - he won the Golden Lion for Roma at Venice in 2018, then vanished. He subsequently began working on this series, but it took a million years to finally see the light of day. I suspect the pandemic played a role in that. Either way, this was a very highly anticipated series; Cuarón reunited with Chivo-Emmanuel Lubezki-and cast the queen herself, Cate Blanchett, in the lead-apparently a sure bet, but nope, nothing saves this show. Sadly.

I was really hoping for something amazing given the team behind it. Disappointing to hear it didn’t live up to the hype. Maybe I'll still give it a shot, though.

It's always disappointing when a highly anticipated series doesn't live up to expectations, especially with such a talented team behind it. Hopefully, the next project will capture the magic we hoped for.

Sounds like it had big potential but missed the mark! Still worth a watch for Cuarón fans or should we skip?
