‘Disclaimer’ Series Premiere: Cate Blanc...

About this episode

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney beware of narrative and form to recap the two-episode premiere of ‘Disclaimer,’ the Apple TV+ miniseries starring Cate Blanchett. They discuss Alfonso Cuarón as a filmmaker, his history of loosely adapting works, and the decision to utilize narration throughout the story (1:29). Along the way, they talk about how the show leans into suspense instead of surprise, as well as its stunning visual style (18:41). Later, they break down how each of the main characters are initially presented to the audience (35:02).


Hosts: Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney

Producer: Kai Grady

Additional Production Support: Justin Sayles
