Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder's new show The Curse tells a darkly comedic tale that delves into a surprising number of social issues, all while delivering an engaging and sometimes uncomfortable narrative. Created by Benny Safdie, who also plays Dougie Schecter on-screen, the series follows newlyweds Whitney and Asher as they film a reality show called Fliplanthrophy. As its name suggests, the initial point of Fliplanthrophy is to help underserved communities and create news ones. Of course, these good intentions quickly give way to an array of problems — and that's not to mention the curse supposedly wreaking havoc on Whitney and Asher's personal and professional lives.
fresh Rotten Tomatoes score speaks to The Curse's quality, confirming that it's a worthwhile endeavor. The Curse premieres on streaming November 10, with a network debut two days later. Those hoping to watch it have plenty of content to look forward to, though there will be a wait between episodes, as The Curse season 1 isn't dropping all at once.
