The Curse (2023– )
9/10
An embarrassingly great show.
12 January 2024
Cringe, weird, wild, meta, self aware, unique, innovative.

My first Nathan Fielder show and I have already become a fan. This is one of the most wildly creative and innovatively funny series I have ever seen. The premise isn't that wild, but it's the execution that makes this show so unique. The humour is intentionally cringe, which makes it so funny. It's a self aware show filled with meta jokes. The actions of the lead couple will give you second hand embarrassment and make you squirm. At times you will wonder where the show is heading, but the finale is so wild and innovative that the journey feels worth it.

Nathan Fielder is genius as the socially awkward husband of Emma Stone whose character is filled with white guilt. Their virtue signalling and self righteousness will make you despise them. Both of these actors are so good in their respective roles that it takes this show to a whole different level. And Benny Safdie is here playing a director doing all the inappropriate things. Whenever he is present on the screen, he is the funniest of all.

In summary, The Curse is a wild show. A24 strikes again. Bringing quirkily talented people like Fielder, Stone and Safdie was a masterclass. And the finale is the weirdest and most unpredictable thing ever.
