Nimue

Golden Globe nominee Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why) pulls the sword from the stone in Netflix's alternative take on the Arthurian legend co-created by Frank Miller (Sin City).
Sadly not [the next Game of Thrones] but it’s a perfectly serviceable slice of escapism while we wait for the next contender.
Full reviewOther than its visual style, Netflix's "Cursed" represents a pale addition to that mythology, approaching the story from the perspective of Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, without yielding many dramatic ripples.
Full reviewThe story’s lack of fealty to the roles particular characters are meant to play in myth or the way they have traditionally looked can give way to a leaning on modern cliché that suggests a dearth of better ideas.
Full reviewI never was able to fully give myself over to Cursed, but I never really got bored and I think there's a better show laying in wait for a second season. More Pym, please!
Full reviewCursed may not be the most serious or profound program that TV has to offer, but you won't find many shows more solidly built or satisfying.
Full reviewThe Arthurian myth kitty is not so much raided as spilled all over the floor in this adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel focusing on the fairy-woman Nimue.
Full reviewWhat gives Cursed its edge is the source material, which subverts centuries of lore and oppressive systems. The Netflix adaptation isn't nearly as captivating, but it still manages to be a quaint escape from reality.
