Curon

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

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.

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 was just ok. The seven episodes of season one are left feeling confused since the show is not sure of what genre its going for - suspense, horror, supernatural - other than it all being overlaid with teen angst and parental turmoil in a small Austrian/Italian village. I mostly enjoyed it, but I wouldn't bother if another season is in the making.
