Biting social criticism that celebrates the “cringe”: That’s what makes The Curse special
Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie’s social satire is difficult to put into words, it is so unique. Young married couple Whitney (Emma Stone) and Asher (Nathan Fielder) start a new reality TV show in which they use their real estate company to do good deeds for residents of a small town in New Mexico, but in return are criticized for gentrifying parts of the city .
And in fact, behind the philanthropic façade, they show their ugly face and are then cursed by a street vendor when they violently demand the return of a $100 bill from her that they had previously patronized her in front of the camera. Suddenly they have problems conceiving a child…
The Hollywood Reporter magazine even called the series the “most unpleasant new show of the year,” but that’s not a bad thing at all. The Curse delivers its social criticism, dripping with black humor, in such a deliberately cringeworthy way that viewers will find themselves constantly squirming back and forth on the sofa. But this is exactly where Fielder and Safdie’s brilliant humor comes from. Once you’ve come to terms with the constant embarrassment of others, then The Curse is a real joy.
More reboots on Paramount+
Once you’ve cringed through The Curse, how about a dose of crazy reality TV stars in a party mood? Germany Shore sends a group of young adults in a partying mood to a villa in sunny Greece. There will be endless flirting and arguments – wild nights between partying and drama guaranteed.
If you’d rather stick to fiction, there’s German production One trillion dollars is another series highlight. Based on the successful novel of the same name, it describes the story of a young bicycle courier in Berlin who inherits a trillion dollars in one fell swoop and thus becomes the richest man in the world.
With a regular price of 7.99 euros, Paramount+ is also pleasingly inexpensive, especially when you consider the large selection of top series and films on offer.
