Curon

Get past the first episode which is admittedly not great (overbearing music to create a 'horror' feel when the show is not a horror) and you'll find it's an enjoyable show with engaging characters. I'd probably give it a 7.5/10 but have scored higher to counter balance the people giving it a ridiculously low rating - it's far better than they're making out! I see a lot of comparisons to Stranger Things and Dark: why? Completely different shows, don't expect similarities. Very interested in seeing the story continue and I hope the bad reviews don't ruin its chances

Curon - A village in Alto Adige in northern Italy - and a misterious lake with an horrific curse...

The basic idea looked quite interesting to me, also because I drive through the town every year - I once even toutched the tower. Sadly, the story could have been much better. It is very predictable, you can tell what will come up next and the ongoing of the plot is neither very creative or innovative, nor some kind of thrilling. The story does with the idea of a cursed lake what you expect it to do. When you watch closely and overthing some things happening, you can even find some plot holes.

In addition, I have my problems with the characters. They aren't very deep and easy replaceable, most of them just filling up positions in the story you need a character for. We got the "Netflix-typical" teenagers you get tired of so easy. The one shy guy, the one bad guy, the gay one...

Nevertheless four stars for the good basic idea and the basically more or less entertaining bits.

Ok its not stranger things but i enjoy watching this. Dont understand people rating with 1 star.

Can't believe people give this a one star rating while rating the endless flow of proper junk Hollywood push's these days eight stars. I'm sorry but the world has gone crazy.

In my opinion this show (although not award nomination worthy or likely to gain any cult following) is at least laced with some of that old school passion. I feel I'm being entertained by someone with a love for film making and not arrogantly subverted by someone with a political agenda (I'm sure you know what I mean.) Rather refreshing if you ask me. All that said it feels like a student film to me, kept me watching till the end which Didnt unfold quite the way I unexpected.

Take note most of the one star reviews watched the entire season and then complain about being entertained by a show not solid or as good as "Dark" seems a little unfair to me as it clearly is not of the same budget and what not as a show like Dark.

Ok this is not the best series out there but did people become so picky they only put a decent amount of stars to the top of the top level shows?? This is a very decent simple show that got me hooked from the beginning to the end. Yes it's slower than average, yes the story is not the craziest ever and no you don't need to use your brain to understand it... But it's not advertised as the new Dark or Hunting Of Hill House so take it as it is: a new paranormal thrillerish show from Italy! I'm glad I didn't check the reviews so I wasn't influenced by them at all. Too bad some of you won't watch it because of all those undeserved terrible 1 or 2 stars.
