Cursed: A Lenda do Lago

I am guessing most of the 1 star reviews are from people that watched only 1 episode, the show gets better as it goes and is a decent distraction.

The comments here are rude and unfair. I fully understand and respect if "Cursed" is ultimately not the cup of tea of some people or just hasn't met their expectations , but giving it the lowest rating is definitely not what this show deserves. This is pure exaggeration. "Cursed" deserves a 7 or 7,5/10. It was a good first season, with interesting characters; captivating universe, and story. I was impatient and excited to see each episode, and it took me just two days to finish the season. I can't wait for Season 2. Are there any flaws? Obviously, especially visually (CGI), and I think there are some scenes that could be better filmed, especially Nimue's badass moments. It's rushed and a bit sloppy. But in the end, these things don't ruin the story or anything, and they can be better the next season.

Thanks to all the cast and crew, and of course, thank you Netflix.

This show is obviously not trying to be one thing, or retell a story you know. It is trying to invent something new and create its own universe, albeit derived from existing material. I guess they made a mistake by borrowing familiar names. If everyone had been called something different I don't see how most of these negative reviews would be valid. I think it's good enough to keep watching, though it didn't hook me at first. If you go in with an open mindset and remember the show is trying to be playful with its namesakes and not butcher them, you might enjoy it.

Reading all those negative reviews made me want to say something positive. It's very simple: I like it. It's not perfect, but it entertains me. And that's that. Good day!

I was reluctant to give this a go. A lot of these reviews seem to be people who are crying over the lore. It's messed up for real but it's an alternative spin, it's something different.

It's a decent ride. I agree it doesn't know what it wants to be, it goes from some good action and fantasy to teenager love affair / empowerment frequently. Teething issues are to be expected and I hope it finds a good balance in new seasons. Some CGI good, some not so good.

I enjoyed this overall. If you're into fantasy TV and want a light hearted casual watch then this is a really good bet. If you're hardcore into lore and hate change, or you're expecting an epic in the GoT category, then don't bother. But do give it more than a couple of episodes.
