Legendary characters discover the most challenging aspects of their individual conviction, and each rise up to meet the mettle necessary to live in authenticity to their highest aims. For me, I followed the romance, the development, and the day to day will to survive in each character with a popcorn eating fervor and at least once an episode, bit a few nails. Perfectly cast, with a strong sense of purpose in each performance, and perfectly lensed and written and directed and produced to deliver a timely retelling that lets us in the audience play with our own expectations as to a female in the lead of a traditionally, classically male tale. I don't need to know anything about mythology, the Arthur we've all heard of and the Sword to happily watch this series- Do you? That is the question I would like to know your own answer when you experience CURSED season one.

This is like sitting at the table for a Gala Charity Dinner for a Cause you support with all your heart, and as you courageously remove any guilt you feel inside about a gut feeling-... You casually get up as if to go to the bathroom but you sneak out for some air on the patio AWAY from the big Gala Show 100% on purpose. It is there, that you bump into another lone figure looking up at the stars. You two agree. You both share how SO very glad that everyone of the power wattage stars on the stage is there to back up the cause: Meryl, James, Nicole, Kerry Washington and the list goes on. Challenging each other to find one GREAT thing about this event production, you stumble on the truth that sometimes these giant productions in support of cultural progress are always, no matter how engaging or boring, they do one thing for sure: OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME AWESOME INDEPENDENT FILM MAKER to actually get this kind of movie right. I respect the creators and have seen shows the Director made and obviously I love the cast- but i think they all were left directionless- and the musical numbers need the what the guys on the Matrix did for action sequences- they created a EMOTIONAL CONNECTION not just singing and set pieces to carry the day it felt like the Screenwriter just wrote "and James Sings a song here" and everyone else was left to make it leap off the page and supposed to make it happen on the day of shooting. IDK if any movie studio or producer reads this but you could save the world of cinema from these missfires IF you watch out for any red flags on set when a cast of this level is assembled and it is NOT connecting and help the director get it back in the magic zone of CONNECTION that does NOT rely on anyones star power, or the IP or anything besides what is hopping on the screen

I love HALLMARK movies like this one. I also Love Tarantino and Sofia Coppola flicks. The flicks I really have a hard time with are painful ones like this one. I think Emma Roberts is an outstanding talent, so when i see her "stuck" (i use quotes cause I mean, she is not stuck, she did read the script and sign up for it) - anyhooo! when I see someone so Awesome and fun to watch, stuck in a movie that WOULD BE BETTER IF IT WAS A HALLMARK MOVIE! At least everyone could just double down on home spun comfort of Girl meets Guy and realizes he is the ONE guy! As it is, I fault Netflix, the Writers and producers for not upping the Ante and seriously asking themselves what they want to DELIVER and then deliver it. Those Netflix Prince for Christmas movies at least KNOW what they are delivering: Netflix version of Hallmark. Ok Great. Done. Success. perfect. But this is apologising for both! It is apologising for being like Hallmark- and then trying to apologise for not being edgy and cool like a Non- Hallmark film. That trap- is hard to watch such talent flail in. Please Netflix Content Execs!! Please. If you do one thing - WATCH LIKE A HAWK for content- that is not delivering on the PROMISE of what you greenlit- and then Dog those editors and producers and anyone on production to get back in the track they sold you on in the first place.

All 3 seasons Stellar and unique to themselves. Season 2 is the most satisfying for pay offs on our investments in each character and the twisty dance between light and dark elements running throughout the entire adventure. Very unique little moments come to life on screen thanks to wonderful performances by all, and a deft ear and eye from the production make this a stand out show for any occasion.
