Morrone’s performance is the best thing about the show. Yes, she makes stupid decisions, nearly constantly... she is never less than compelling, making “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” a long, uneven but ultimately interesting journey worth taking.

As it is, it’s a nervy beginning, a badass final sequence, and many minutes of domestic blisslessness in between. Go to Full Review Tim Glanfield The Times (UK) 6d
4/5
The show is a masterclass in slowly building a sense of tension and anxiety while not being afraid to bring in the blood and gore when required. Go to Full Review Amelia Harvey Movies We Texted About 1d
Haley Z. Boston effectively uses the horror genre to unpack big concepts like marriage, soul mates, and the fact that you’re not marrying just your partner but their family. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 2d

R T @RT61344939 1h Very well crafted show full of creepy characters and uncomfortable situations. Minimal jump scares and some blood. Just great cinematography and good acting. See more Leo D @LeoDelu 2h First episode is really good. But then everything goes surreal in a bad way and too freaking slow. And nonesense, and predictable, and boring… See more Jesse C. @Deplorable88 5h Something very cringe is going to happen See more Tarek J @Tjxav 6h Almost finished. Episode 7 now. Everyone in this show is a awful person. I hate the star I hate the supporting cast. Not bad actors but holy fuck these people in the story are insufferable. You have to make 1 person to root for. But there is no one. I like the suspense but people will hate everyone. See more Ela D @RT81423398 8h Regia e fotografia impeccabili, ma la storia è davvero stupida. E’ inutile e lenta. Ma tanto tanto lenta. Una delusione. See more Jay D @Jaydegnl 10h I really liked the first episode, and it gave me hope, but after a few episodes everything went so enormously slow. It felt like they were stalling and in my opinion they should have stuck with 2 episodes less and a tighter time line. However, there was nothing wrong with the acting. Especially Camila did a fine job. See more Read all reviews
