I won’t try to describe to you The Curse. It’s not that the Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie created A24 and Showtime series defies description, nor that it’s too complex to try to summarize in words. In fact, narratively, it’s quite simple. The black comedy series stars Emma Stone and Fielder as a married couple trying to get their HGTV show off the ground while an awkward, possibly supernatural, incident picks at a thread that quickly unravels their marriage. But this simple premise does not beget an equally simple story, which — like many a Nathan Fielder project — goes in directions you could possibly never predict.
