It’s a shame this show is a bit too weird, subtle and avant garde to truly become a hit because it is great.
Maybe if it had been on HBO it might have been a bigger deal?
Instead of the mess that was The Idol replace Succession with this on Sunday nights and who knows?

“The Curse” is set in the New Mexico desert, where newly married couple Asher (Nathan Fielder) and Whitney (Emma Stone) Siegel have declared themselves pioneers in a new frontier: ethical gentrification. Whitney designs high-end, eco-friendly homes whose mirrored siding and interior décor by local Native artists literally, and figuratively, reflect the surrounding community—the working-class, predominantly Latino town of Española. As they explain to a local reporter, their plan is to set aside a portion of home sales toward offsetting the rent of any tenants displaced by rising property values. Asher jokes in a playful TV voice that “no one is more concerned than us about the G-word.”
He’s not exactly lying. Gentrification is precisely what these two are counting on. Whitney and Asher are shooting material for a potential HGTV series, tentatively titled “Flip-lanthropy.” Though their brand is forward-thinking, their actual business plan has old roots in the American West. They’re land speculators. The pair have been buying up plots across Española in anticipation of the land value rising once their show gets picked up to series.
