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. Go to Full Review
Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture 3d
As it is, it’s a nervy beginning, a badass final sequence, and many minutes of domestic blisslessness in between. Go to Full Review

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
Belen Edwards Mashable 14h
For the most part, it's a captivating success, and even though we know something very bad will go down, that doesn't make the journey there any less perturbing. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 14h
It’s a madly devious, genuinely addictive blast -- one of those Flanagan-esque series you simply cannot turn off until it’s 1 a.m. and your bleary eyes have staged a full revolt. Go to Full Review

[...] come for the spooks, the atmosphere, and the lore. Stay for the kind of storytelling that centers women from the jump and doesn’t end in a way that takes away our agency. Go to Full Review

Audrey A @RT63990558 6h I don't care what people think and if they are judging it because it's the duffer brother's production. The creator is Haley Boston. This is a nice, gory, dark, well made series. It keeps you intrigued and in suspense about the story and what is really going on. Of course it takes a while to unfold, it's the most important piece of the story. It feels like an amazing short story. Nothing negative to say. Loved everything. Well made, well done. See more Bronte S @RT75532729 6h This show was excellent. Amazing visuals, cast was great, story had a solid mix of horror and comedy. As a horror lover I’d recommend it. There were some parts that could have been explained better, but I think people’s expectation that every single thing has to be explainable in a clearly fictional story is a bit ridiculous. So, if you can let a few things slide, it’s really well done overall. See more Hannah M. @hmonque 6h Couldn’t stop watching! See more Amy S @Akats 7h The tension of the tic tock countdown of I Do or Not is absolutely riveting! The ending was so omg what will she do what will happen if this happens and what really?? Did that JUST happen??? So so good and sorry spoilers this was better than THAT red wedding by far. I had my opinions what this was about going in and it went in a surprisingly totally different direction which I loved and although some episodes are a bit umm long with the drawing out of scenes the vibe is being totally set up which I get. Had a lot of genuine dialogue about family, marriage, love and taking the leap of faith no matter what the circumstances. Great acting from Morrone and was absolutely incredible! .. kept me guessing till the end for sure and lived up to its title. Loved this ride!! See more Geneva T @RT75159844 7h I don't know what the f other audience members are talking about. I looove to hate on movies/tv shows, but this show was original, extremely well acted, and with near-perfect execution. Would highly recommend. See more O C. @RT58421813 8h This show is so unrealistic. If this were a girl from The Bronx she would’ve found an excuse to go to Duane Reade or to go to the nearest Target, any excuse to get up out of that house. But at this point I’m too invested to stop watching. See more Read all reviews
