About the series
Disclaimer is based on the novel of the same name by Renee Knight. According to IMDb, it revolves around Ravenscroft who is a successful television documentary journalist. Her works have been about revealing the underlying transgressions within the structures of respected institutions.
One day, Ravenscroft finds a novel written by a widower (Kevin Kline) and is horrified to recognise herself as a key character. The novel depicts a harrowing storyline, which she had hoped was buried in the past.
