The Curse

Paramount+ | 10 November | Season 01 | 10 Episodes

THE CURSE is a genre-bending SHOWTIME® series that explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring in their new home-improvement show.


Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder have to be one of the oddest screen couple pairings we’ve seen in some time. Somehow, it looks like it could work though.

We do get some Hulu programming on Disney+ through the STAR channel, but that app is still ultra kak and there’s no way to search or confirm if this will appear on the service or not.

I’m going with not, and will probably strap on my trusty eye patch, hoist the jolly roger, and sail the seas. I’ll hold off on doing that for a week or two to be sure though.

An epic saga of war, passion, and power set in Feudal Japan. Based on James Clavell’s novel, FX’s Shōgun is set in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.


I know it’s months away still, but… I’ve been hyped for this since it was announced way back in the BC (Before Covid) times!! I remember reading the Clavell novel as a teenager in what feels like a lifetime ago.

Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

From Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman - the producers of Band of Brothers and The Pacific. During World War II, airmen risk their lives with the 100th Bomb Group, a brotherhood forged by courage, loss, and triumph.
