The Curse

I'm surprised so many people didn't enjoy this. It's just a a 6 part comedy about a bunch of useless petty criminals who take on a robbery which is way out of there depth. I really enjoyed the way it was set in the 1980s in someways it reminded me of some of those classic Ealing comedies of the 1950s and 60s in particular the Lavender Hill mob.

The dialect and filming are in the style of a Guy Richie movie. My only complaint would be the acting isn't great, much of the cast are from the BAFTA award winning People Doing Nothing. Sadly this shows there limitations as actors although the rest of the cast give solid performances.

7/10.

I had too many expectations when I read the cast which is probably why I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.

However it is an easy watch with an occasional laugh but not hilarious.

Binge watch it.

Some of the reviews are more funny. One reviewer talks of the 90s. The show is set in the early 80s. Another reviewer appears to have an issue with being PC and has an issue with strong women and people of colour in leading roles.

I loved this I just wish it had lasted longer and the ending told more of what happened! I think this is one of the best done series I've watched in a while! All the actors where good and realistic! Tom Davis( King Gary) was awesome as well as the others. There wasn't a bad actor in it! Had Guy Ritchie vibes. I'm not sure why it wasn't rated higher with all the junk being produced now a days. Since it was a true story , sadly there won't be a second season( I don't think)!?! But it's been a long time since I've enjoyed something so much as well as liking every character. I just wish the ending had been more fleshed out! Edit because I just watched season 2... I discovered the 2d season last night when looking for something to watch. I love this series it has a Guy Ritchie vibe all over it! I feel like the episodes are too few but I hope they make a season 3! I'm surprised the score is so low! They've set it up nicely for a season 3! I hoped for a 2 but had no idea what it'd entail but 3 can go any which way! Also reminds me of guilt a bit. American audiences are probably bringing the reviews down but if you like anything Guy Ritche you should like/love this!

Really enjoyed this programme, thought I'd watch 1 then binged watched the whole season, bring on season 2.

It not a lol comedy, more of a dark humour.

Took me a while to realise most of the main cast are from people just do nothing.

I didn't enjoy peeps jst do nthg but I enjoyed This.

Good to see the cast of people do nothing teaming up with Tom Davis who steals the show with his strange voiced character. Very little reason for this to be broke into episodes would have worked well as a film an enjoyable caper.
