“Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed.
I’m not the one you want, babe. I’m not the one you need.”

Johnny Cash’s country rendition of Bob Dylan’s ‘64 hit song “It Ain’t Me, Babe” played in the background of the pilot episode of Something Very Bad is Going to Happen while engaged duo Rachel Harkin (played by Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (played by Adam DiMarco) drove drowsily down the highway. Their destination? The Cunningham family’s summer cabin, where they were going to get married.

Netflix’s unsettling new horror series—which was created by 31-year-old Haley Z. Boston—started off as a tale following a happily-in-love couple to the altar. However, as Rachel and Nicky approached their big day, Rachel began feeling an overwhelming sense that something very bad was going to happen. She didn’t know what, and she didn’t know when—but she did know that it was coming (and she wasn’t wrong).

Through trials, tribulations, and shocking family revelations, Rachel learned that her bloodline was previously cursed—and that if she didn’t marry her soulmate, she’d die on her wedding day the same way her mother (played by Victoria Pedretti of YOU and The Haunting of Hill House) did. Therefore, what began as a story of two lovers' remote wedding in the woods turned into a nightmare as Rachel tries to unearth ways to escape her family’s brutal curse.

You’ll have to watch the series to find out if Nicky was, in fact, Rachel’s soulmate (I’m not going to tell you!)—but I will say this: There are countless amounts of twists, turns, and surprises along the way that’ll leave your jaw on the floor. One surprise that I learned after watching the series was that the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross Duffer, famous for creating Stranger Things) produced it. Ross recently announced on Instagram that it’s “the first non-Stranger Things production from Upside Down Pictures!” He went on, “Haley is a mad genius—and exactly why we started producing. We’re so proud of her.”

I know, I know—as an almost-decade-long Stranger Things fan, I should’ve been up to date on the Duffer Brothers’ latest projects. But life’s busy, y’all, and this one slipped through the cracks!

When I found out the talented twins produced this show, I wasn’t surprised (because I’m fully aware of their ability to hook a viewer)—but I was seriously impressed. I was mainly taken aback by the Brothers’ ability to jump genres without missing a beat, proving they aren’t defined by the cult classic that put them on the map.

Stranger Things, which follows a group of teens around Hawkins, Indiana, as they navigate the Upside Down for nearly five years, has a prominent sci-fi theme—whereas Something Very Bad is Going to Happen has much darker, psychological undertones reminiscent of a classic horror film. In a recent interview, Boston mentioned how she was inspired to write this project by films like Rosemary’s Baby and Carrie. (So if you like old-school horror movies and binge-worthy Netflix series, this one’s for you.)

Aside from the Brothers’ knack for transcending genres, I was also impressed by their ability to tell a captivating story in a short amount of time. Unlike Stranger Things (which follows the cast for five seasons leading up to the demise of the Upside Down), Something Bad is Going to Happen follows the cast through a five-day journey leading to the highly anticipated wedding scene that’s teased in the series’ pilot. But regardless of the short timeframe, it’s just as enthralling as Stranger Things and packs a punch with plot twists and character developments that you don’t see coming.

All in all, both series are fantastic, yet extremely different—and if you watch Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen post-Stranger Things, just be aware that, again, it is a horror series rated TV-MA (I had to cover my eyes at various points, because, yikes).

Oh—and after you finish the show, you’ll understand why Bob Dylan’s song, “It Ain’t Me, Babe” kicked it off.
