The Curse

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.

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!

This is OBJECTIVELY a show that should be rated a 7 or above. People crying in the reviews are probably so used to having a super modern show, with super popular actors with perfect accents, and perfect styling and perfect acting etc etc.. Pulling up references of other shows with the same actors is also nonsensical.

I have never seen any of the actors before, to be honest, nor do i watch many UK shows. Watched this one in one session entirely, its fun, its imperfect, love the plot and characters. Crime comedy is the new thing nowadays, and i dont complain. "Only murders in the building" got me hooked on the genre, and i want more and more!

The only thing that was somewhat annoying is that few of the characters dont seem to know how to get a complete sentence out..like ever...so much stuttering going on. But other than that, its a very nice relaxing show that leaves you wanting more. Unless you are one of those 1-5 ratings, triggered by people with accents and 80s fashion.

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 stumbled on this by accident and gave it a shot, binge watching all episodes. The acting was good in parts and not so in just one, for example, what is with Micks accent? I couldn't understand what he was saying in the first episode, it was so exaggerated that he was almost incomprehensible and mumbling words. That really put me off the series, it may me cringe every time he 'spoke'. It was however great to see the 80's clothes and was such a blast from the past. Would I recommend it? Probably not based on Mick's irritating accent, which is a shame as I love British TV series...
