I think the mother and the son were involved sexually. Which would give some context to Jonathan “loving” her more than his father. Taking candid pictures of her. The overwhelming depression when she found out he had died saving a women’s child. They asked a question asked when they found out Jonathan saved the child, what compelled him to do that knowing how selfish he was. I don’t think the mom would have a hard time writing from that perspective if she wasn’t already familiar with who he was and possibly because she had abused him herself.
@@Pattiecake Definitley, and the jonathan was a R word because she knew how selfish he was and how he probably was with women. Id love to see a series based on him and her relationship growing up
Apple+ somehow now has a better hit ratio than HBO. It may not have as many shows as other streamers but it's probably the best streamer when it comes to quality television.
They should've added something to raise doubts about who was telling the truth. It would end in a much more interesting way. I thought that burning photo would be it, but sadly, it wasn't.
Hmm I don’t know because if I’m wrong wasn’t there a bottle of wine also shown in the photo? If she a bottle of wine why should have needed to go down to the bar… (am I reaching?)
They should've stuck to the first telling of events. That twist felt forced and undeserving due to the lack of any hints towards there being an alternate telling of events.
After watching it all, all were really lefted with is, what happened with him and his girlfriend, he had a cut on his arm in the mortarey and his hotel mirror was broken,
I feel like he R worded his girlfriend that's why she left abruptly and was SO upset that the mother called Jonathan's mother. Or he was doing something highly odd like what he does in Italy. The cut on arm is explained by Catherine. What isn't explained is how she still hung around him the next day, when he saves the boy.
On the sound mix. I believe it was designed for 5.1 surround mix. I noticed that when the main dialog was on it was in the center, but when the narration was being read, it switched to the side and rear channels. I think they may have been going for an audio book experience when it was switching to the narration.
Strange, I have a 5.1 setup and the dialog never really shifted to the side/rear channels. Could just have been my screener copies, which is good so that everyone else doesn't experience that wonkiness!
Good show. The first episode realy was kind of slow, but, the second one picked up a good pace. On the audio mix, I watched the first two episodes with a 5.1 audio setup, and it really sounded odd to me too... Looking forward for the next episodes.
Audio mix is outstanding on a surround home theater. Amongst the best sound design of any show or movie. Also point out the exceptional use of animals in the show, many of which I suspect are CGI. Cats just aren’t that easy to act with!
We loved it! Finished it a few days ago and we are still talking about it. Same vibe as Power of the Dog and ironically same actor “Nick “ who was brilliant
I loved this and binged it! But I also noticed the audio issues. At first I thought it was intentional, but realized it was just poorly done. Very strange because the quality of this show was top notch otherwise and definitely Emmy-worthy.
Just finished this I really did think is was amazing from the acting to the filming and sound which i think they fixed, really didn't like the ending felt so rough and rushed, I would of really liked to of had one more episode either to clear up and flesh out things or even from the son's point of view that maybe it was a mix of both persons points of views I think that would of been more satisfying end.
Liked your comments. However, this story is so old for me that I feel like I have read this somewhere. I was reading Harold Robbins, Sidney Sheldon, Jacqueline Susann, and Jackie Collins when I was 13. I don't like how slow this goes. Nothing has shocked me. I really find myself laughing. Thinking how do these people get out of bed? I am at episode 5. Will keep watching as I have a good idea how this ends. This is just like Presumed Innocent. They changed the character at the end due to the age of the character. Had read that one too. Seen the the original movie with Harrison Ford.
I need to read the novel cause i`m invested on what the girlfriend and her family told the mother, i honestly don't believe the mother didn't know anything and yet was so precise, like this was a conduct that she had already seen or heard from the son, i`m so curious on the real reason the gf came back cause it definitely at the end just seems like a made up excuse specially from the reaction of the girlfriend`s mother
Finished it today. I think the story itself is average (even weak plotting wise at times), but the acting is superb and keep you engaged. Cate Blanchett & Kevin Kline are just marvellous. The other big positive is the Cinematography. Even though I don't think it is that special, I certainly recommend it, and I enjoyed it. 3.5/5 P.S: A good casting of Leila George as the young Cate Blanchett.
I hated the ending. The first 6 episodes are great, but the last episode lines up with the feminist and woke narrative. The last episode doesnt add up. There are very big holes and contradictions in the series. It was headed in a good direction, but ends up being stupid. I feel ripped off. Waste of 7 hours of my life.
I am in the middle of watching this series and I was curious how others view the emotional drama of an affair that happened about 20 years ago that the character that Cate played. Certainly there was a horrible tragedy when Cate's young lover dies attempting to rescue her son. Cate had never told her husband about her affair, which when her husband found out he kicked her out of the house. Good grief, is it really so unforgivable that she had a brief affair so long ago Yes, it was wrong and also wrong I suppose that she kept that secret, but marriages often get rocky and affairs happen that don't end the marriage. Goodness, it was 20 years ago!!!! So much rage was piled on Cate from her husband and the family of her young lover, that i felt was just too much. Was it so unforgivable? Wondering what others think about these characters condemning Cate??? Have an opinion to share?
I felt it was not just the affair, but also or perhaps more so her behaviour after the young man’s death. As it is being presented at that moment. It is also set up as a woman with life experience exploiting a teenager. I felt that the husband Robert was finally taking a stance for himself in his mind, and her actions were so immoral that he cannot bring himself to speak to her. Not the best way to behave, but I could see how it might happen.
On episode 5 and I really like it! I thought it was gona be boring, I was surprised how much I liked it , especially because the preview and story line sounded too much like sooo many others , but I am really into it. The first episode is hard to get through as it is confusing, BUT , they clear it up quickly, so don’t give up after episode one.
Utterly disagree on the audio mix and edit. It sounds fucking phenomenal on my Dolby Atmos home theater (9.1.4). One of the best surround and discreet shows that I've seen / heard in a long time.
I honesty think the show was mixed with Atmos only in mind. I’ve seen tons of people complain about the mixing. As someone with a 5.1.4 set up it does sound breathtaking. But more than likely the show does not downmix well.
The story and its telling are marvelous. Acting is wonderful. But I am not convinced that Cathryn’s narrative is more accurate than the fictional book written by the mother. Cathryn failed to convince me that the story she told was not at least in part the fabrication of an accomplished writer who was experienced and adept at telling a tail that largely absolves her from any responsibility. A narrative casting her as a couger preying on an innocent naïve young man was a bit over the top. But portraying herself solely as victim did not ring true for me either. I seriously doubt that a woman in fear for her life could summons on demand the poses that made her look like a full-tilt seductress in the photos. Clearly we are supposed to believe her but I do not.
I mean, how is a woman supposed to behave when being held at knifepoint whilst trying to not awake and ultimately drag her kid into a possible rape/homicide? The show is a pretty good illustration as to why women have historically not gone public with sexual assault cases. Definitely talk to women + learn about fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses.
@ It is not about how a woman is SUPPOSED to behave. It is about how anyone WOULD behave. I doubt that even a trained actress could appear to be aggressively seductive while being threatened with grave bodily harm to herself and her child. Anyone so threatened would wear a look of terror rather than a look of seduction. Under extreme stress, demeanor does not lie.
I don’t like any of these characters. Something isn’t working. Meth cooks? I was absolutely riveted to BB. Murderer Tony Soprano? ❤❤❤ Feeling the ick on this one
Did you watch all of it? What makes it good is its complexity. That first episode I agree is convoluted and the worst of the series. But if you push past it you are rewarded. Finale was nearly a 10/10
the audio and camera work on the last few episodes was unbearable, I don't know if it was part of the unsettling storytelling technique but would agree on a 4.5 score out of 5!!
The acting was great, the cinematagraphy was great i really liked the movie but for the whole world to reject her over a book after one read no research, people that known her most turned on her was a stretch. every male in the movie was weak???? very entertaining but....
I’m finding the story simple and predictable, which are not negative things in my opinion. The direction, acting, cinematography and overall the production values are really what make this series entrancing and engaging. Love the good storytelling and the simplicity of the plot so far. I’m looking forward to the rest of the episodes!
I just watched the first episode and I will stick with the entire thing. I can see what you mean about surprise twists in every episode. Spoiler ahead so don’t read past this point: I was almost 100% convinced by the end of the first episode that Catherine’s son was Jonathan’s and not her husband’s until he turned up as a small boy with her in Italy. I thought that was at the root, for Catherine, of her distance from Nicholas, her son. Knowing he wasn’t her husband’s boy filled her with such guilt that she couldn’t bond with him properly. And, ironically, father and son got along so well that she also couldn’t bear to come clean and possibly break up that relationship. Apparently, that’s not the case, though.
It was great, right up to the lazy, unfulfilling end. It's as if they ran out of time. The cinematography was fantastic, acting was impeccable by all the actors and the direction was great. However, after spending almost 7 hours, the ending was flat and way too rushed. Without revealing spoilers, one of the characters "ah-ha moments," was ridiculous at best. Would I recommend this? Yes, but maybe next ti e they should give filmmakers more than 7 episodes to allow emotional endings time to breathe and let us "feel something."
It‘s not the sound _design_ - it‘s the sound mix. When sometimes the music was prominent and the dialogue muffled it was clearly intentional but nonetheless I constantly needed to adjust the volume. I agree that the cinematography was beautiful. One thing I couldn‘t understand. What happened to the girlfriend in the first episode. What was that all about? To show that Jonathan was horny but nice? But then, would his mother have written it that way?
I was absolutely hating this for the whole show until the final episode redeemed it. It was clear Cuaron made it intentionally bad as a kind of mystery box device. The characters in flashbacks didnt match their present day selves at all and the end makes it all make sense and redeems the whole show. From watching a book review on UA-cam the source material is the same. Slow for all of it until the very end that "fixes" it
I don't believe her. There were only 3ppl who saw what happened. 1of them has completely refused to say what has happened. The other is dead. The third person just said 'I WAS RAPED' everyone just stopped
the cut on his arm, the hints of parents knowing how selfish he was and why he wanted to save the child of this unknown woman, the girlfriend leaving him for "family" reasons but in reality she was prob his victim which is why the girlfriends mom called jonathans mom so angry and never speaked to them again even after his death meaning he did something very wrong, the kid staring in the photo, he was a sadist and even tho the woman was wrong for flirting and leading him to her room, he played a very manipultive role by pretending to be a naive teen when in reality he was already used to this life due to the strange relationship he had with his mother who was severly jealous of this woman which shy she called her the perfect stranger
Kevin got old!!! It sucks how time catch up with all of us, nobody can escape it. The actors who plays the grandparents in movies and shows these days were the young ones when I was a kid.
Kevin Kline doesn’t really look that old. They’re doing it for his character. If you look at some of his more recent stuff such as The Good House 2021, he looks at least 15 years younger .
I understand your entusiasm about all the profanity and but I think you should watch Rivals. See nudity taken to a Game of Thrones level there...I dont see anyone talking about this series. Not on youtube. On tv and I dont care abt tv
With top talents coming together in Disclaimer, expectations are high; however, after watching Episode 1, I was left feeling disappointed. The storytelling is laborious, filled with well-worn tricks and tropes that offer little novelty. Most troubling are the camera movements and the varying stylistic palettes applied to the three interconnected narratives. While these choices may be well-intended and meticulously crafted, they often render the scenes and character portrayals stagey and unconvincing. In attempting to elevate a rather predictable storyline, the series seems to have stripped away both thrills and emotional depth. The organic qualities that make for great storytelling and compelling character arcs are sorely missing. The most beautiful aspect of the episode is the gorgeously romantic song that plays at the end. Everything else in the episode is gorgeous too but is just beautiful to look at.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep watching this show but I love Cate Blanchett and seem to have similar taste in shows as you, so if YOU liked it then I will keep watching. Thank you for another great review. 😊
Nope. I may be the only one that think Blanchett and Kline with his "now I'ma wrinkle my face and show I'm craaaaaazy" look were worse. And ugh the dialogue about kids and facebook and instagram. Pathetically bad.
This had explicit sex!!!!! I thought game of thrones was explicit or 50 shades. Wow!!! But it had to be .. to be johnathans narrative. He was hooked!!!!!!!!😜. Great series. I was confused at first episode. Then it takes off😮😮😮
The mother writing an erotic fiction for her dead son as revenge was crazy
I think the mother and the son were involved sexually. Which would give some context to Jonathan “loving” her more than his father. Taking candid pictures of her. The overwhelming depression when she found out he had died saving a women’s child. They asked a question asked when they found out Jonathan saved the child, what compelled him to do that knowing how selfish he was.

It tracks. Pathology is always caused by the parents.
kevin kliner somehow convinced me he is british, but holy S lesley manville stands out, and lubezki's cinematography is on another level.
I had to double check that Kline was who I thought he was and confirm he is American 😂. He’s fantastic in this
Apple+ somehow now has a better hit ratio than HBO. It may not have as many shows as other streamers but it's probably the best streamer when it comes to quality television.
Hulu is better than Max and has SO many great shows.
Hulu is the best overall for me. It has The Great, What We Do In the Shadows, Shogun, Letterkenny, Ted Lasso, Reservation Dogs, Fargo, etc.
Someone finally said it.

I just didn’t understand Why Cathrine didn’t go to police next day instead of going to beach ?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep watching this show but I love Cate Blanchett and seem to have similar taste in shows as you, so if YOU liked it then I will keep watching.
Thank you for another great review. 😊
Hmmm....am I the only one who thinks that Saha BC was shite in this role?
Nope. I may be the only one that think Blanchett and Kline with his "now I'ma wrinkle my face and show I'm craaaaaazy" look were worse. And ugh the dialogue about kids and facebook and instagram. Pathetically bad.

This had explicit sex!!!!! I thought game of thrones was explicit or 50 shades. Wow!!! But it had to be .. to be johnathans narrative. He was hooked!!!!!!!!😜. Great series. I was confused at first episode. Then it takes off😮😮😮
If you think Apple usually hits it out of the park, I'll get my reviews somewhere else.
It's fine that you have that opinion but why post it? It's just putting more negativity out into the world.
It's not even close. Apple TV is by far the best streaming service out now.
