The Curse

It's Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone, and has to be the most embarrassing cringe inducing show ever made.

It's amazing, but a lot of episodes I've had to stop and do something else and finish it later.

I can't even imagine trying to binge it all at once. Fielder is just too good at that stuff

I think Nathan Fielder is one of the funniest people on the planet right now. The Rehearsal is fucking unreal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

the fact that you are never sure how much of it is a character and how much is him as a person, is just amazing

My Second-hand Embarrassment / Vicarious Embarrassment / Fremdschämen is really bad. The Curse is like eating spoonfuls of delicious sand.

Sounds like a good test to one's faith.

Uhg. I watched an episode of The Curse when my wife found it. I am convinced that the curse is actually the entire show - they're cursing the audience.

Not seen that one yet but from the outside it only exists so Fielder can briefly live out his Emma Stone wife fantasies, no? 😅

My partner really likes the curse but I said we can't watch it together anymore because it makes me feel like shit
