What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cursed's first season isn't as subversive as its source material, but strong plotting and a heroic performance from Katherine Langford make for an enjoyable escape.

It's Langford's charm and the aesthetics that sustain "Cursed" when the story feels too slow or the lingo too obtuse. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) 07/21/2020
1/5
It's one of those series that, once you get started, you'll find very easy to stop. Go to Full Review Vicky Frost London Evening Standard 07/20/2020
With production values that are more HBO than BBC1 and action that skips along at pace, it's all very watchable. Go to Full Review Federica Bocco The Tempest 08/29/2022

The ending isn’t too satisfactory because, in the showrunner’s desire to keep this exclusively Nimue’s story, it leaves too many questions unanswered. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine 03/02/2021
Little by little, as we meet other characters, the drama becomes more interesting and bloodier. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mark Cassidy ComicBookMovie.com 01/28/2021
Everything about this show just feels lacklustre, poorly developed and budget Game of Thrones. The performances are fine for the most part, but the woeful dialogue they're forced to spout means everyone still comes across a little stilted. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sil F @RT66157678 Nov 2 Assisti a primeira e única temporada duas vezes, para quem gosta de séries de fantasia com uma uma pegada medieval, as opções logo se esgotam. Acho decepcionante a Netflix ter cancelado uma série que deixou um ar de continuidade.... O público teve que se contentar com o luto de Cursed ... Ficamos esperando a segunda temporada e ainda procuramos uma sequência com o tema, mas não encontramos. Lamentável, Cursed deixou perguntas no ar.. acho terrível fazer isso com o público, ainda que tenha sido um público menor, .... Impagável esse cancelamento. See more Rene A @RT32743702 Sep 2 This series is so freaking underrated, this is probably my third time watching it, and each time I watch it I begin to see the depth of it. It is everything a person who loves magical powers, over evil and the costume the staging is just enthralling. It just grabs at your emotions throughout the movie. I don't understand how there was never was never a second season to this. However I am enjoying watching it again and it probably watched it again and again because it does feed the soul and heart. See more Dave L @RT29131586 Aug 20 A totally original take on the Arthur ledgend, and really well written with a great cast. For me it's unexceptable that it was cancelled after leaving us with a Merlin gonecosmic and obviously not the fake we had been led to believe. I would of loved to see where this would of gone !
