Ep ended as we landed! Biggest (only?) cliffhanger and now I have to wait!!! 22/

So the hospital let a random dude into the ICU and then the staff is mad at the kids MOM for trying to get rid of him. Why couldn’t they make it at least a little believable? Ugh this is a slog. A long, boring, poorly written slog. And now I have to finish it when have other options available! 21/

Ep VI - still so boring and slow. Now HR is after Catherine. All they had to do was have her slap Simon because she was mad. He grabbed her TWICE. They keep picking this storyline. 20/

Uh oh - we’re starting our descent into Seattle… I’m not going to finish this thread on the flight!!! The horror! 19/

Hey writers… people silence their phones or turn notifications off when they are getting blown up! 18/
January 17, 2025 at 6:57 PM
We’re supposed to believe even the women who witnessed Simon assaulting Catherine are on his side? Never hire these writers again. 17/
January 17, 2025 at 6:34 PM
So everyone gets mad at Catherine for slapping Simon when he wouldn’t stop grabbing her?? Zero women in the writer’s room, eh? So dumb! Catherine is wrong but Simon was assaulting her. She had every damned right to slap him. 16/

On the Ep V - still boring. I can’t relate to any of the characters. Okay maybe Stephen? OTOH - Johnathan was making decisions with his libido but Catherine didn’t actually kill him. It was a super unfortunate accident and yeah I’d probably want revenge if he was my son. 15/

Robert lecturing Catherine about integrity?! Fraudster! What a tool. Typical rich spoiled boy. 14/
January 17, 2025 at 6:03 PM
The acting is wonderful! Sacha Baron Cohen is phenomenal! Cate Blanchett is so very good. Kevin Klein! Too bad the writing is total crap! Anyone… is the book better??? 13/
January 17, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Also- Robert is a shite person, too!! The fraud he’s committing - what a tool! But but but the infidelity of his wife is unfathomable! 12/
January 17, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Okay - sex in a public(ish) place. Finally something I could see Robert being appalled by!! “But I deliver the ultimate pleasure at home, in our bedroom, in the dark, for THREE whole minutes! Why would you want to have sex in a bathroom?” - Robert (probably) 11/
January 17, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Robert “knows there were others before him” no shit Sherlock. He thinks he’s the one who delivered enough pleasure to “nab her” - how big is this boring jerk’s ego? What a wanker! 10/
January 17, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Still boring, too! 9/
January 17, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Ep IV we are treated to more of that “mom bod” on the beach LOL what a joke! Show real bodies!! 8/
January 17, 2025 at 5:18 PM
And we’re supposed to believe that Johnathan is so enthralled with her & the vanilla sex? He just shagged his girlfriend the whole train ride to Italy. They were wild and care free! Why is this so special? Does not make sense. Maybe it will later? Doubt it. 7/
January 17, 2025 at 5:16 PM
The sex - we are meant to believe very vanilla sex is something she wouldn’t ask her husband for? WTF? I mean I’d get it if she was afraid to ask to be peed on or flogged - no kink shaming here - but I could see in our society that those things could be difficult to ask for. 6/

Short observation. This show is boring as heck. Ugh. A slog. 5/
January 17, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Episode III of Disclaimer… gets juicy finally. Kind of. “My body hasn’t been the same since childbirth” “you must be used to younger bodies” - proceeds to expose a body that has never had a child and is “Hollywood perfect” so annoying. When can we start casting real bodies? Do better! 4/

Maybe they are only aware of phone cameras? That lens isn’t going to focus on his face in a selfie. No I haven’t looked up the minimum focal length. Again not a huge deal - the plot drags on. 3/
January 17, 2025 at 5:06 PM
Apparently no one working on the show knows how a film camera works. The shutter is constantly going off after he’s moved away from the shot. His finger isn’t on the shutter button half the time. Okay minor stuff, not relevant to the plot… but annoying. 2/
