Saying “I do” and committing to someone used to largely be seen as a joyful endgame for fictional characters — there’s a reason every Shakespeare comedy ends with a wedding. However, over the years, the idea of being with a person forever has slowly become a source of terror. What arguably started with the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones has now become a genre trope in its own right. And Netflix’s recent horror series from Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers absolutely nails that terrifying feeling, making its eight-episode debut the perfect way to spend a weekend at home.

This post highlights an intriguing take on commitment and relationships. It sounds like “Something Very Bad is Going To Happen” offers a fresh perspective that could spark some thoughtful conversations. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!
