Oscar winners Alfonso Cuaron and Cate Blanchett say their new television show Disclaimer&nbsp;is woven around characters that challenge audiences to suspend their judgment. The seven-part psychological thriller is based on Renee Knight's 2015 novel of the same name and created, written, directed and produced by Gravity&nbsp;and Roma&nbsp;director Cuaron.

Viewers meet Blanchett's character Catherine Ravenscroft, a respected documentary-maker, in a moment of crisis, when she is sent a book detailing dark secrets from her past.

Catherine tracks down the novel's author, retired teacher Stephen, played by Kevin Kline, and discovers he is bent on sharing her story and his truth with the world, with potentially ruinous effects on her reputation and relationships.

The twisty tale, that also stars Sacha Baron Cohen as Catherine's husband, Lesley Manville as Stephen's late wife, Louis Partridge as their son and Melissa George as the young Catherine, combines narratives and timelines.

"My character is, people transplant their own judgement upon her. In a way she's a glass of water, she seems relatively passive," said Blanchett.

"I found there was a lot that I was confronted by from my very first read of the script. I had a profound judgement of the characters in a way that I was quite shocked by," she said.

The opportunity to explore and juxtapose the different narratives was what prompted Cuaron to adapt Knight's novel.

"I was intrigued about what was happening internally with each one of these characters and how that was creating a completely free interpretation of everything," said Cuaron.

In addition to taking on the lead role, Blanchett boarded the project as an executive producer and quizzed Cuaron about character motivations and plot details.

"Cate's involvement is the one that triggered all the important questions. It triggered a whole rewrite of the whole script," said Cuaron.

"Your thumbs must be really athletic," he said, referring to Blanchett. "I'd never received so many text messages!"

Disclaimer&nbsp;starts streaming on Apple TV+ on October&nbsp;11.

Secrets and speedy thumbs as Blanchett and Cuaron team up for Disclaimer TV series

Social Media giant Facebook has placed an informational disclaimer on a post from US president Donald Trump on Tuesday. The post by Trump claims mail-in voting would lead to a "corrupt" election.

This disclaimer comes as follow-through on Facebook's pledge to fight misinformation including from world leaders and shifting slightly from its hands-off policy on political speech.

Trump wrote on Facebook claiming that mail-in voting, unless changed by the courts, "will lead to the most CORRUPT ELECTION in our Nation's History!" and added the hashtag #RIGGEDELECTION.

Facebook has always held firm on its policy not to fact check political leaders but has vowed to take down any post which could instigate violence and mislead people about the voting process.&nbsp;

Recently, it promised to add labels to posts which would normally be removed for violating platform rules, but which are left online as "newsworthy," following the example of Twitter.
