Everybody's trying to hit the next Game of Thrones gold right, well cursed is not it, but all in all its an enjoyable turn on a familiar story with some stand out elements. Terry Gilliam's Excalibur has not really been matched in this tale and the remaster version surprisingly stands up well enough still, stellar cast it had, however Cursed opts for a different prequel angle regarding the inclusion of the Fey and the battle with the Red Paladins/Church. Its surprisingly dark in parts although this can sometimes be difficult to balance within the overall tone whenever they find it. The animated links work well, as does a good cast, even the humour seems to land well enough. Its quite difficult to pull all the threads together in the right chords even when time, distance and velocity are disregarded as the story escalates quickly however there are enough layers and intriguing elements to keep your interest and most of the main roles are filled with top tier acting talent to help overlook the occasional naff script. I do hope it won't be cursed and will get a second series as it does deserve it.
