Having just finished Disclaimer, i came back to see your thoughts. My biggest problem with the show is that it's too serious, and it doesn't feel like it should be this way. Watching it, i couldn't stop thinking about how much better it would be with Todd Haynes considering what he just did with May December. That is the tone for the show.

The scene where the assistant tells Catherine "you're so cancelled" is something that took me off, for example. You could see, negatively, that it was a 63 year old guy writing and directing it, and the tone was totally wrong. Something like what Haynes did with May December would have been perfect. Should have been more camp.
