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 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.
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.

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.

Did you know
- TriviaNimue is the name given to various incarnations of a witch/sorceress in many movies and TV shows (most recently, the Blood Queen in Hellboy (2019). The mythology on which the characters are based indicate she was schooled in magic by Merlin before, ultimately, binding and imprisoning him forever. Other myths have her becoming the 'Lady of the Lake' who raised Sir Lancelot, returning Excalibur to King Arthur and, eventually, taking his body to the realm of Avalon. (The two variations, however, seldom exist in the same telling of the story.)
