It's definitely an uncomfortable and painful show for 95% of the screen time, but I couldn't help but love the writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack and pretty much everything else. I really wasn't sure how much I liked the finale and it's particular kind of left turn (don't spoil it) but now that I'm about a week out from seeing it I think it's an incredibly strong finish.

I'm curious what anyone else thought of it.

    I said on one of the megas here,

    I'm not saying The Curse is a Maoist show. But if a Maoist made it, I don't think anything would change.

    Obviously a lot has been said about the wave of anticapitalist media, how that media performs our anticapitalism for us and just serves to recuperate radicalism, etc etc. But within the context of what's possible in a show, I think the Curse is one of the funniest and most entertaining takedowns of white liberalism you could conceive of. Great show.
