Their new Showtime series, created by Fielder and Benny Safdie, is often beguiling, but can’t quite decide what it really wants to say.
Then, Whitney has an idea. They should try to re-create what just happened—only this time, they’ll film it. It would make them seem happier, more likable to Whitney’s Instagram followers, and if they present as a goofy, relatable couple, HGTV may pick up the pilot that the Siegels have filmed for the network. Attempts at duplicating the moment don’t go well—it’s all rather embarrassing, really—and before too long, Whitney and Asher are in a bitter, foundation-shaking argument.
Whitney and Asher are perhaps more in the process of rotting than already fully rotten; maybe at some time, before the beginning of this series, they were people who really cared. But they’ve badly lost their way, and The Curse brutally delineates the havoc they wreak in trying to find it again. The satire here is both on-the-nose and intriguingly nuanced.
