Chapter I: A novel exposes the secret past of a journalist when she realizes she is a character in a story with buried transgressions.
Chapter II: Do you ever think of me?
“In its first 45-minute installment, Disclaimer feels reminiscent of Big Little Lies and Expats and any number of class-conscious series that tend to star Nicole Kidman. When bad things happen to people who drink vintage wine from crystal glasses, is it just as bad as when they happen to everyone else? Is it even worse? This isn’t new terrain for TV to cover by any stretch, though it feels new by dint of Alfonso Cuarón’s touch.”—from Amanda Whiting’s 3-star recap of I for Vulture
“It’s hard to predict where the show will travel from here. Two episodes have covered only two or three days. Timelines that appeared distinct have collided. Narrators that seemed close have proved omniscient: Catherine spilling what’s inside Robert’s head and what’s inside her son’s flat, where she’s surely never invited. A camera clicks on a sunny day and 20 years later and a thousand miles away a marriage is obliterated. Cats, always sinister, appear and reappear.”—from Amanda Whiting’s 4-star recap of II for Vulture
