They say everyone is allowed to make one very big mistake, and certainly Disclaimer like that Alfonso Cuarón.

They also say you can find out what you really care about by looking at what makes you angry. Bad television makes me angry. (And in the distant past I’ve been involved in my own bad television, and in some cases I can be blamed, which makes me even angrier.) Making a TV show is a constant struggle to keep things from being ridiculous. Nothing is easy, nothing helps you; It often seems set up to hinder and frustrate. Publishers are now just administrators, so all the useful legacy networks and systems that once eased your way are long gone.

But with Disclaimer – out now AppleTV – we have a special situation. These barriers do not exist. We’ve got top-notch actors, a top director (who also adapted the script from a novel by Renee Knight), millions and millions of pounds… And the result isn’t far off from something ITV2 would miss, or indeed one of them. Channel 5’s late-night import of “erotic” thrillers was infamous at the turn of the century.

The story of documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate BlanchettHer younger self, who has all the sex in the world and then some, is played by Leila George). Ravenscroft has a dark, erotic and possibly lethal secret. Sacha Baron Cohen stars as her incompetent husband, and Kevin Kline appears as her “I know what you’re doing” nemesis who plans to expose everything. Lesley Manville She is the unlucky wife of his enemy. And I’m afraid the situation is very bad.
