The Curse
What could go wrong?
Created by Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie

A meta, satirical dark comedy that weaponizes its own artificiality to interrogate narcissism, gentrification, and the performative nature of contemporary liberal culture.
An alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show.
