Flipanthropy Picked Up for Full Season Despite Criticism of Fielder's Performance

The Curse navigates the pitfalls of gentrification and the challenges of reality TV, drawing comparisons to The White Lotus.

Asher and Whitney's HGTV show, Flipanthropy, has been ordered for a full 10-episode season, but the network wants to focus more on the house flipping and less on the community building.
Despite his comedic experience, Nathan Fielder's performance as Asher has been described as 'limited and stiff', but he has been praised for his comedic acting in the series.
Whitney, played by Emma Stone, is trying to navigate the pitfalls of gentrification, while Asher is dealing with a suspected curse.
The Curse is a scripted satire, but its documentary-style cinematography and use of unknown or first-time actors give it a realistic feel.
The series has been described as a 'dramatized satire', similar to The White Lotus, with gentrifiers instead of rich vacationers.
