Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen (Season 1)

As we set out to unpack Netflix’s newest horror, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, we also debate whether the Duffer Brothers-produced series is actually just a pitch-black comedy. From the cast choices to the setting to flirting with every trope under the sun, it seems like this production and crew had some fun filming in snowy Ontario. We break down the absurdity of the "soulmate curse," Nicky’s baffling existential crisis, and the show's best and worst qualities.
The reception is mixed, which makes weighing in even more fun. Tune in for our thoughts, our theories, and, of course, our rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!
