Season 1 Review:
Ultimately, I quite liked the show “Something Very Bad” becomes once Boston and her team put their cards on the table. But that show is different enough from the initial presentation, and takes long enough to reveal itself, that I’m not convinced “Something Very Bad” is best served by its chosen format.

Season 1 Review:
The back half of the season is better overall. The ending isn’t revelatory, in the sense that it doesn’t quite complete Something’s thoughts on matrimony or family or inherited attitudes toward either, but it’s clever and kind of exhilarating. Characters like Nell and Jules gain some depth. There are a few well-executed twists among the many that are easy to anticipate. But those developments create new problems.

Season 1 Review:
It’s hard to shake the feeling that this would have worked better as a feature film: the pacing drags, and some of the tortuous plotting feels as if it is simply stalling for time. More annoying still is the series’ aesthetic, which is frequently so dark and colour-washed that it’s hard to tell what you’re even looking at.
