There has never been anything quite like this and probably never will be again. The way the series seamlessly blends Safdie's style of bleak, anxious, and raw but darkly funny cinema with Fielder's ultimately dry fusion of uniquely satirical reality-meets-fiction works so insanely well, these two were destined to collaborate. Emma Stone's expert-level acting is the glue that allows it to function with the semblance of a traditional narrative series, which may be necessary for the viewers who are otherwise unfamiliar with Safdie and Fielder's work and their complexities or transgressions. Put all 3 maestros in the pot, and you've got something that straight up transcends.
The series was impressive enough as it was through the meat of it, through all of its unique intricacies and endlessly hilarious sequences, but then featured a conclusion that was so unexpected, so artful, it brought my view of Nathan Fielder from "a king" to an even higher tier - the highest, to be honest. We thought we knew him at this point, but once you experience this series as a cohesive whole, you will see a side of him you never could have imagined. I can't say more than that, but I can say that I know it will be a while until I consume another film or television series that will effect me as much as this one did. I've watched it twice all the way through and haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. The Curse is beyond legendary.
