By the third aimless episode, I felt more dread about having five more installments to go than I did about anything that was happening to the characters. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 1d
The show excels at casting a spell through odd details, nasty red herrings, disturbing clues. And underlying them all is an unexpectedly sincere exploration of what true love can or should feel like. Go to Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 1d
3.5/4
Something Very Bad Is About to Happen plays on nagging relationship fears that haunt you late at night about the resting body sleeping beside you, forcing us to consider whether that person we’re committing ourselves to really is the “one.” Go to Full Review Andrew Crump The Playlist 1h

There is a difference between suspense and dread. “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” is a superb case study in its very specific implications. Go to Full Review Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting 3h
4/5
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen achieves a chaotic, claustrophobic quality that capitulates over its final episodes. It’s a touching, terrifying story that preaches the virtues of soulmates and whether love is enough to overpower death. Go to Full Review Kit Stone Hue Watched It 22h
It takes the seriousness of a lifelong commitment and packages it inside a dread-soaked thriller to reshape the weight of such a decision. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Margaret Y @Myyyy 1h This series is the best thing so far this year! It’s weird, dark, complex, funny, horrifying, and it’s like they made it to fit exactly what I love about horror. I can’t recommend it enough. See more sprinkle C. @sprinklecookiebaby 2h Boring and not engaging. Nothing has hooked me. See more Georgina D @Georgianna2.0 9h Just mediocre. Promising first 3, 4 episodes, dissappointing last few episodes. Very silly towards the ending. Had high hopes for this one. See more Mpho M @RT52290997 10h The series has an intense atmosphere, testing the faith and trust of all the characters. It's a battle between love and death and it is produced in the most outstanding way possible and I think it is a perfect series worth seeing. And lastly the acting is just so beautiful everyone deserves a round of applause for the acting. What a great show See more nur fatin syahirah K @RT01846785 12h The plot was good but in my opinion. Rachel just full of herself she should just die in the plane crash. See more Danielle M @RT14355982 17h I was hooked in the first 15 minutes. I have not seen a show of this caliber in a long time. Think black mirror meets stranger things. See more Read all reviews
