Curon

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

Curon is a mysterious village in Italy. A mother returns to Curon with her children, but her past experiences start haunting her family.

The series is good and watchable. The storyline is good but there's nothing wow in the entire series. It was predictable, though there's an eerie feeling in the show at times. The storyline still has a potential for a much better seasons in the future.

I'm just giving a 6 in the hope that the season 2 has a better storyline with some unpredictable twists.

The actors are okay, given what they had to work with. And the main characters might be clichéd, but that's not bad at all. That's just the way many stories work. The camera, editing and music are good. So there's an enough creepy, eerie vibe to it, that I wanted to know where it goes and watched all episodes.

But the story is incoherent, has too many plot holes and lacks character development. Some things seem to happen for no other reason than creating effects. There's an easy to understand, yet very plain story with wolves that makes the show a bit cheap. On the other hand we have the main characters, a family cursed apparently for no reason, because there's never an explanation. But this would be one of the most important things to know! Also the curse works different on some people. Why? The twists are either predictable or illogical. Last but not least at some parts the German synchronization is cringe worthy, especially the South Tyrolean dialect sounds utterly ridiculous. The English version isn't better.

The end of this season with a boring, quite predictable cliffhanger was enough for me. So I wouldn't watch a second one. But see for yourself!

Compared to the French Netflix production Marianne, which I found very entertaining and had a proper synchronization, but unfortunately got cancelled already after one season, it would be a shocking surprise, if they went on with this one.

to those, who claim, there's no need to use your brain to "understand" : well, this might be the main motto of the orange rumpelstiltskin of the USA and the biggest problem of our world ;) cheers

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.
