The Curse

Nathan Fielder micropenis

Just like everything else Nathan has made, this is pushing the boundaries. It blows my mind how he can always be right on the cusp of creative television. The other actors killed it as well. This show is deep and disturbing at every turn. A show that demands a second watch

after reading other reviews, i’m realizing how niche the target audience for this show is.
here are my thoughts on why that might be and why it’s still worth watching: someone said it deals with white guilt; i think that is accurate. with that said, it’s difficult to make (1/?)

can every tv show be written and directed by nathan fielder from now on pls

8.5 - What a bonkers show. It took me a long time to fully lock in, but now that I finished it I want to rewatch it & see if I can pull more interpretations.

It’s a vicious blend of the Safdie’s signature discomfort & Fielder’s signature absurdism & cringe comedy. Stone & Fielder are both excellent.

I don’t think it needs a second season but I know there is conversation of one happening & I would be fascinated to see how that would be approached.

Watched the first episode, haven’t been back. It was a bit weird.
