This exciting Apple TV+ show has been long awaited. Director Alfonso Cuarón is a big name director with incredible success in various films like Y tu mamá también (2001), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Children of Men (2006), Gravity (2013), and Roma (2018).

The 77% is still well below his amazing filmography but might mean good things to come! For any viewers, they have an interesting insight to consider as well! It appears that critics had wonderful comments for this show, some even giving it an 8 out of 10. The reviews appear to emphasize just how wonderful Blanchett and Kline played their parts, calling their work an absolutely captivating thriller full of powerful moments!

Disclaimer And Borderlands:

While Borderlands was a big miss in 2024 and it stands as one of the big disappointments of the year along with Joker: Folie à Deux.

Disclaimer's success at getting positive reviews shows Blanchett's powerful acting ability and those behind this Apple TV+ hit are showing what truly talented performers can do when they are part of a well produced thriller. The future of this show might really just be hitting that sweet spot when it comes to what fans want from thrillers on a streaming service and Apple TV+ may even have something to keep their viewers tuning in week after week.

There's more that's very impressive and important to note! The anticipation around this series isn't out of the blue! The success that Presumed Innocent achieved on Apple TV+, gave hope to the Apple TV+ viewers that something similar might just appear again. Whether it hits the same numbers may remain unknown. Fans are definitely showing appreciation with reviews for this show showing that it appears the future looks bright for this amazing adaptation.
