    I have to disagree with most people here. I like this show a lot. It's a fresh take on a mythical world. Yes the lead is female but feminism isn't shoved down your throath. It's just not a serie about arthur, rather it borrows its lore to tell something new.

    The scenes and atmosphere are great, acting is fine. Roles are fleshed out, and plot twists are by far not always cliche. In short,    I have to disagree with most people here.

    Love the concept thought the sets look good. Ended on a solid cliffhanger. I really like the actors thought they were all good choices that made the characters come to life.

    I don’t usually watch TV due to the fact that I’m a reader. However this show Cursed totally reminded me if the genre of books I would be reaching for without a doubt t. This show’s take on King Arthur, Nimue, Merlin and low and behold Lancelot. I am seriously Anxious for another season !!

    Cursed has a great photography, a great visual display, a great costume design, the production and pre-production are really good and some great and well executed camera movements, in general, has a good artistic and photography direction. Everything and that the actors are really good, the performances could be much better, the script is not rubbish but having Frank Miller and Tom WhellerCursed has a great photography, a great visual display, a great costume design, the production and pre-production are really good and some great and well executed camera movements, in general, has a good artistic and photography direction. Everything and that the actors are really good, the performances could be much better, the script is not rubbish but having Frank Miller and Tom Wheller in your ranks is somewhat loose in the first episodes, different misfortunes occur but none of them ends up importing you from the everything and this is mainly due to the failures of post-production.

    In short, it has a great artistic and photographic direction, it does not have the best performances but they are not an unpleassant, weak script since the creator is a great writer of great comics and success stories, but it can be save, although the CGI, NORMALLY, is fine. executed within what fits in some moments it totally takes you out of the immersive experience that this series is but still it is still good.    … Expand

    I absolutely love this type of series it has a rich world and a good story. Big fan of the witcher and this reminds me on the series/games and the mentioning of the lady of the lake. Looking forward for the next season !

    If you watch the series all the way through, you can see that it uses a teen fantasy frame that develops into a dark existential drama. Sort of like a typical Frank Miller comic book. Don't listen to the negative reviews from those who watched three episodes. Watch it until the end and you'll realize you like it more than you would have believed.

    Loved the thrown in bits of comedy. Pulls the heart strings. Really cool way to weave in what we thought we knew about mythology

    It takes quite a few episodes for the terminally serious “Cursed” to gain steam, but once it does, this show offers characters worth sticking around for.

    Langford (“Knives Out,” “13 Reasons Why”) is effective if not exceptional, somewhat mirroring the entire enterprise. The gore quotient here runs high, but unlike “Thrones” and “The Witcher” there is no underlying erotic throb fueling things and humor is scarce.

    If you crave originality or weirdness in your fantasy TV, there’s plenty to enjoy here. But beyond some clunky and predictable dialogue, the biggest flaw is Nimue — whether it’s on Langford for failing to really sell key moments or the writing for leading the character to make dangerous or at times even dumb choices, the ostensible focus of the show fails to come together.
