Did anyone watch The Curse? (hexbear.net)

It's definitely an uncomfortable and painful show for 95% of the screen time, but I couldn't help but love the writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack and pretty much everything else. I really wasn't sure how much I liked the finale and it's particular kind of left turn (don't spoil it) but now that I'm about a week out from seeing it I think it's an incredibly strong finish.

I'm curious what anyone else thought of it.

A lot of people on the subreddit seemed to think it was Asher himself, who as a bland and identityless person was a blight on everyone else around him, and through the events of the finale was reborn in a way that resolved the tensions of his relationship to his wife, friends, and the victims of his scheme. I think it's a pretty good reading, but I think the Curse is really just white guilt, and the finale was a physical manifestation of what Asher thought he deserved for himself (and what he arguably did).
