1/10 woke score: Apolitical horror bliss—natural diversity, wedding dread, family secrets, zero politics or DEI preaching. Pure story-driven entertainment.
"Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen" is an atmospheric horror miniseries centered on wedding anxieties, family secrets, and escalating dread surrounding a bride's paranoia at her fiancé's secluded family home, blending suspense, character tension, and supernatural-tinged marriage jitters.
It employs a naturally diverse ensemble cast—such as Latina bride Rachel and white groom Nicky—without race-swapping, gender alterations, or DEI mandates, while focusing on traditional themes like soulmates, commitment doubts, and family trauma. Devoid of social commentary, identity politics, progressive messaging, or critiques of patriarchy, the show's pure entertainment value and apolitical storytelling justify its overall woke score of 1/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.

At first glance, the show doesn't give the impression to be woke. But you know that Netflix is going to do it. Everything goes as expected, with a random and uncontested kiss between the protagonist and another woman. The rest is ok.
