Review of The Curse

The Curse (2023– )
10/10
We are all cursed.
14 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Everyone in this show is cursed.. including the viewers.

Whitney is cursed to always be seen as the gentrified white woman and always play the part whether she intends to or not.

Asher is cursed (with many things), but I think what he's cursed with most of all is forever trying to gain the approval of others.

Dougie is cursed to forever find a new gimmick or ploy for a reality show while never coming to peace with the guilt of his wifes death.

Cara is cursed with the decision to sell her art and culture for fame and money and how to do it in a way that feels authentic to herself.

And you, the viewer, is cursed to watch all of these things unfold in an unnervingly slow, cringy series, all filmed in the possibly the WORST style... an HG-TV show.

This isn't a "haha" quick laugh comedy, this show is a commentary on how much of a joke contemporary times and television are, and laughs come from the stark uncomfortable reality of each scene.
