- TriviaIn the episode of Nathan For You titled "Toy Company; Movie Theatre" Nathan mentions how it is a shame that the "guy who plays the Somalian pirate" in the film Captain Phillips (2013) hasn't had much of a career since that appearance. Barkhad Abdi, the said actor, then appears in The Curse nine years later. In fact, Abdi has worked steadily in television and movies since Captain Phillips, appearing in such films as Eye in the Sky, The Brothers Grimsby, and A Girl from Mogadishu, and such shows as Hawaii Five-O, Castle Rock, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and Little America.

Featured review
The Curse is a slow, long, and uncomfortable watch. There is not much of a through-plot in the series (the story is coherent, but does not have consistent, clear direction). If you go into this show for a story, you will be greatly disappointed.
The aspect of the show with the largest draw is the complex dynamics of the characters. Each lead character is deeply flawed, and the events of the show are primarily a way to explore these flaws. My viewing experience consisted of one part watching the episode followed by an equal part sitting and trying decode the characters' behaviors, helped along in many cases by the heavy use of metaphors and symbolism in the show.
The show is perplexing, in a way I happened to find entertaining. I would not expected it to be a particularly entertaining or enjoyable watch for a viewer whose brain isn't tickled in a similar way. I understand why people dislike the show, and most of their criticisms are perfectly valid.
I would recommend giving it a shot. If you do not connect with the first two or three episodes, you should know it will not improve. But if you connect with the style of the show, it is a fantastic experience.
