• The foremost thing you will come to figure out
  about Cursed is its looks.
• It is genuinely different from many of the
  fantasy shows available out there.
• The trailer of Cursed shows the shots of the
  pristine lake that has a mountainous view from
  all sides.
• The camera dived under the water as soon as a
  figure of a woman appeared out through the water
  surface.
• Suddenly an arrow strikes her torso and digs
  there, no sooner the blood starts to appear on
  the water surface, and you can see her breathing
  asymmetrically.
• The images might be mesmerizing as well as
  disturbing for some viewers, and there are
  chances that the phrase Before Arthur, the King,
  the Sword of Power chose a Queen.
• which will appear on the screen, might get missed
  by you at that instance.

More About Cursed

• By now you might already have guessed that the
  hero of this new Arthurian drama is actually a
  heroine named Nimue. Katherine Langford has
  played the role of Nimue in this show. Nimue
  receives the title of the canonical Lady of the
  Lake. In the drama, you will see her fearsome
  powers of magic that have made her ostracized by
  her village society.
• Cursed begins with an unspeakable tragedy. After
  the dispute with her mom, Nimue tried a lot but
  she failed to catch a ship which would have taken
  her miles away from her home. She returns to her
  village, with one of her most loyal mates Pym
  (whose role has been played by Lily Newmark), As
  soon as she comes back to her village, she finds
  that a brutal slaughter of her villagers was
  going on. She finds Red Paladin wiping out her
  species. By the time she figures out everything,
  the Fey have already given intense damage to her
  peaceful community. She sees the dying villagers,
  homes on fire, and women that were getting
  dragged away from their native places.

• Her most loyal friend suddenly disappears. She
  tries to find her mother, and by the time she
  figures her out, she sees that she is severely
  wounded. Even after getting injured, her mother
  was clutching a sword wrapped with a cloth. She
  handed the sword to her daughter, asking her to
  take it to Merlin because it was the only option
  that was now left.
• Those last words by her mother left Nimue
  puzzled. Some questions were consistently hitting
  her mind. Why was her mother carrying a sword?
  Why did she ask her to take it to Merlin? Was she
  connected to Merlin and why? And she gets a
  strong feeling that why should she trust someone
  in this kind of matter?

• The female character in the lead role has no
  doubt helped Cursed to attain positive reviews
  from the viewers, but a more significant reason
  for Cursed to get widespread attention is that it
  portrays an eye-catching version of Arthurian
  England. You will see so many redesigned images
  of real or imagined past. Epic scenes like, the
  stunning leaves of emerald, saturated colors that
  bring a completely different vision, more blue
  skies, a strong narrative where Nimue is leading
  those individuals with whom she has lived like an
  outcast, her whole life. She portrays a real-life
  hero who is now on a mission to save lives.
  However, she does have guilt that she abandoned
  her people when they needed her the most.
• Conclusion
• You might not find Cursed as one of the most
  serious shows among the list, but you will hardly
  find shows that are up to the level of Cursed.
  You will very rarely find shows that are this
  much satisfying and solidly built. It is
  awe-inspiring to see a female lead who is not
  having a quest of only finding a partner or
  dealing with some problems like other shows.
  Cursed is one of those rare shows that has a
  story more solidly scripted and characters that
  have more rough personalities. Cursed is a blend
  of all the essential elements that are required
  to make an excellent fantasy drama.
