The Curse (TV Series) It's a Good Day (2023) User Reviews

This is where the show hooked me

[EntropyFashion · 9/10 · 3 February 2024]

Up until now, I found The Curse to be engaging, sometimes unpredictable and at best above average. This episode changed that for me. Here, we see the continued deterioration of Whitney and Archers dichotomy of emotions fully erupt. His ability to be so petulantly passive aggressive and then erupt violently was great. It felt organic and deserved. The interplay between Whitney and the buyers was also spot on in feeling real and not the usual writer's imagination of what real life is like. There was a real world vibe to it.

I see where the resolution is coming from for the end of the series but it doesn't matter. Getting there has just picked up speed.

privilege and virtue signalling ahoy!

Now we get into Whitney and what a privileged headcase she really is. Until now, it's Asher whose looked bad, what with his periodic outbursts.

Now we see why he's angry. Whitney is absolutely in-FUR-i-a-ting to have to live with, a Karen who's wrapped herself up in a fake persona of being cool, hip and liberal when she's actually a psycho control freak.

When someone sees through her and calls her on it - which was what the satirical scenes with the artist "friend" were all about - it's extremely gratifying. And the artist is good at deadpan comedy.

Lastly, the sequence with the Blue Lives Matter guy was also very interesting. Just goes to show, people can surprise you, which people with a rigid mentality like Whitney may never understand.

Episode 5

The Curse has been a lot more miss than hit than I think anyone had hoped for, but it certainly had some good moments. This just seemed to miss the mark completely though. They needed to go a bit more comedic and a bit more over the top with the people touring the house much earlier than when they did, and when they did finally pull that trigger it just did not connect.

They are always going to keep that actual HGTV show within the show at the forefront, but I worry this episode leaned perhaps too much into that direction and as a result it just did not really entertain me at all today. Oh well.
