The Curse

This is OBJECTIVELY a show that should be rated a 7 or above. People crying in the reviews are probably so used to having a super modern show, with super popular actors with perfect accents, and perfect styling and perfect acting etc etc.. Pulling up references of other shows with the same actors is also nonsensical.

I have never seen any of the actors before, to be honest, nor do i watch many UK shows. Watched this one in one session entirely, its fun, its imperfect, love the plot and characters. Crime comedy is the new thing nowadays, and i dont complain. "Only murders in the building" got me hooked on the genre, and i want more and more!

The only thing that was somewhat annoying is that few of the characters dont seem to know how to get a complete sentence out..like ever...so much stuttering going on. But other than that, its a very nice relaxing show that leaves you wanting more. Unless you are one of those 1-5 ratings, triggered by people with accents and 80s fashion.

Good to see the cast of people do nothing teaming up with Tom Davis who steals the show with his strange voiced character. Very little reason for this to be broke into episodes would have worked well as a film an enjoyable caper.

Really enjoyed this programme, thought I'd watch 1 then binged watched the whole season, bring on season 2.

It not a lol comedy, more of a dark humour.

Took me a while to realise most of the main cast are from people just do nothing.

I didn't enjoy peeps jst do nthg but I enjoyed This.

I'm surprised so many people didn't enjoy this. It's just a a 6 part comedy about a bunch of useless petty criminals who take on a robbery which is way out of there depth. I really enjoyed the way it was set in the 1980s in someways it reminded me of some of those classic Ealing comedies of the 1950s and 60s in particular the Lavender Hill mob.

The dialect and filming are in the style of a Guy Richie movie. My only complaint would be the acting isn't great, much of the cast are from the BAFTA award winning People Doing Nothing. Sadly this shows there limitations as actors although the rest of the cast give solid performances.

7/10.

I stumbled on this by accident and gave it a shot, binge watching all episodes. The acting was good in parts and not so in just one, for example, what is with Micks accent? I couldn't understand what he was saying in the first episode, it was so exaggerated that he was almost incomprehensible and mumbling words. That really put me off the series, it may me cringe every time he 'spoke'. It was however great to see the 80's clothes and was such a blast from the past. Would I recommend it? Probably not based on Mick's irritating accent, which is a shame as I love British TV series...
