The Apple TV Plus series is a cinematic delight and its lead performances are tremendous.

Based on Renée Knight’s 2015 novel, Disclaimer tells the story of a respected journalist whose life begins to unravel after she receives a strange manuscript titled “ The Perfect Stranger ” The manuscript describes in vivid detail every single one of the lovers’ trysts.

Cuarón uses the show's erotic edge to make a point about the danger of becoming fixated on the intimate details of other people’s lives.

You’re supposed to gawk at Jonathan and Cather's dalliances in the past the same way everyone who comes into possession of “ The Perfect Stranger ” finds themselves poring over the book's contents.

The series’ final episode is designed to leave you reeling and thinking about how malleable the truth can be.
