The only Netflix show to watch after ‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’
There is a sacred weight to a wedding day, a culmination of silent hopes, long-held dreams, and high expectations. While dreams change in some cases, in Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen on Netflix, they fracture when the walk down the aisle transforms into a descent into chaos, and the celebration breaks into pieces beyond repair.
In reality, as well, it’s not unusual for things to specifically go on our big day, whatever the occasion may be. But it would be freakish to accept that we enjoy the mishaps of our lives the same as we do while watching characters unravel on-screen.
Watching fictional characters spiral into chaos will forever remain oddly fascinating, whether it’s a wedding day gone wrong, a crucial work day, or just another day.
So, if the drama of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen left you craving for more chaos, continue your cravings with BEEF on Netflix.
The first season of BEEF, the hit Netflix anthology series, follows struggling contractor Danny and wealthy entrepreneur Amy, whose personal lives come crashing down after a road rage incident. The series kicks off on one of those days when nothing seems to be going right in their respective lives. Although strangers, their lives unexpectedly collide in a hardware store parking lot, sparking a toxic, escalating dispute, fueled by personal dissatisfaction and pent-up rage.
It is not long before their cycle of revenge becomes a game of one-upmanship, with Amy and Danny both wreaking havoc on each other’s careers, infiltrating families, and forcing themselves into dangerous confrontations.
The core message that Amy and Danny convey is that they don’t hate each other; they hate themselves. While their road-rage incident escalates into an unbelievable tragedy, BEEF highlights how, even in rivalry, they each see in the other the parts of themselves they try to hide, oddly making their feud the most honest relationship they have in their respective lives.
Neither can be their true selves in front of their families, so unknowingly, they both use each other as an outlet to vent out, which devolves into a situation they don’t see coming.
Of course, the stories of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and BEEF are worlds apart, but the character, chaos, and relatability of when one thing goes wrong, everything follows? Not much! So, take a chance while at it!
