The Curse
tv·TV-MA·Nov 12, 2023·
**"The Curse" scores a perfect 1/10 woke by savagely mocking performative white liberalism and virtue-signaling hypocrisy, delivering pure satirical entertainment without any political preaching.
"The Curse" is a dark satirical comedy centered on Asher and Whitney Siegel, a couple whose "Flipanthropy" project in New Mexico pretends to uplift a poor community through HGTV-style home flips, but instead exposes their performative white liberalism, eco-virtue signaling, gentrification hypocrisy, and clout-chasing via shallow progressive buzzwords like land acknowledgments and allyship.
The series mocks these hypocrisies through absurd failures, cringe humor, and a supernatural curse, with organic casting suited to leads like Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, and diverse supporting roles fitting the Southwestern setting without forced DEI. Its overall 1/10 woke score stems from the absence of activist intent, its vicious parody of lefty do-gooderism and white guilt, and strong reception celebrating uncompromised entertainment that humanizes conservatives while eviscerating liberal posturing.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
