Nathan Fielder as Asher and Emma Stone as Whitney in The Curse, Season 1.
, the married co-hosts of an in-development reality show watch a focus group respond to the pilot.. “I like the lady,” says one woman. “I do wish that he had a sense of humor or a personality.” “There’s zero sexual tension,” another participant complains. The final verdict: “There was just something off about him. Like I said, either be hot or funny. He wasn’t either to me.”.
The driving force behind this dream is Whitney, a rich girl rebelling against—without necessarily achieving financial independence from—slumlord parents. Stone’s inherent warmth suffuses her performance, making Whitney come across, at first, as a humane corrective to the seem ingly robotic Asher.
Chaos reigns in the aftermath of that portentous encounter, but it’s hard to blame the words of a wronged elementary schooler—or even Asher for provoking her—when the Siegels, Dougie, and the wholeproject are sowing as much toxicity as they reap. Fielder’s eternal preoccupation is the way people manipulate their environments and each other, particularly through reality TV, where"reality" is so vulnerable to meddling.
