adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey.

Since Nolan's name comes with immense credibility, his stamp of approval for any show and movie is a big deal. The fact that he has sung praises for a TV show by saying it is "unlike anything" he has ever seen is a testament to the show's overall quality. It not only proves that more viewers need to watch the series but also highlights how it deserves to return with another season.

Christopher Nolan Has Shared His Praise For Nathan Fielder's The Curse

The Director Gave It A Rave Review

Christopher Nolan opened up about his favorite TV show in a discussion (via Showtime). He said that A24's The Curse is "unlike anything" he has "ever seen on television before." Given how The Curse boasts an impressive Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of 93%, it looks like Nolan's review for the series is perfectly in tandem with many reviewers'. Although The Curse has a surprisingly low audience score of 44% on the same reviewing platform, Nolan's stamp of approval should be enough to encourage more viewers to check it out.

The director even compared The Curse with Twin Peaks in his full review:

It’s an incredible show, and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television before. There are so few shows that come along that have genuinely no precedence. You’re going back to things like ‘Twin Peaks,’ or ‘The Prisoner,’ or Dennis Potter’s ‘Singing Detective’ and things like that, so you’re in an amazing space, and I can’t wait to catch up with the climax.

[I] want to talk about Emma Stone. And Whitney, because it’s—she’s absolutely, I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say, as the series develops, she can be pretty maddening at times, in a very credible way. The performance I think, is absolutely amazing and wonderful. She’s totally in it. And there is an absolute lack of, I mean, for a star to play a part with an absolute lack of vanity, and no apander to the audience. No appealing to the audience.

Created and written by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, The Curse features Emma Stone, Fielder, and Safdie as its leads. In its 10-episode runtime, The Curse goes through many bizarre twists and turns. However, on the surface, it is primarily about a newlywed couple, Whitney and Asher Siegel, who struggle to make their relationship last after an alleged curse begins to disrupt their lives while they co-star in a questionable reality show called Fliplanthropy.

While the show's twisted but wildly entertaining story beats are enough to keep viewers hooked, its cast make it even more compelling with their brilliant performances. Nathan Fielder, in particular, does an incredible job of portraying his character, Asher Siegel, while serving as the show's writer and creator. Unfortunately, despite having a promising opening season, The Curse is yet to be renewed for season 2. Viewers hoping for The Curse season 2's release can ease the wait by checking out Fielder's The Rehearsal, which is currently in its second season on HBO.

Why The Curse Deserves A Season 2 Renewal - Will It Happen?

The Curse Season 1 Left Many Questions Unanswered

Christopher Nolan's high praise for The Curse is one solid reason why it deserves to be renewed. Beyond that, The Curse season 1's ending also leaves viewers with many unanswered questions. If it gets renewed for season 2, it could finally tie all loose threads and even pave the way for more installments. Interestingly, even though The Curse's season 2 has not officially been confirmed, Nathan Fielder recently offered some positive news surrounding its potential development.

The showrunner revealed (via The Hollywood Reporter) that even though they are focusing on other things at the moment, they had The Curse mapped out beyond season 1 from the very beginning. This update confirms that The Curse season 2 may not necessarily see the light of day in the near future. However, since Nathan Fields and his team still plan to continue the Christopher Nolan-approved series in the future, one can remain hopeful that it will return someday.
