This 2022 Romantic Thriller Is a Perfect Pick if You Loved 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen'

In 2022, a little-known but extremely captivating project was released, blending romantic comedy and detective thriller as deftly as the Netflix hit Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.

Wedding Season tells the story of a star-crossed romantic who crashes a wedding to confess his feelings, only to become the prime suspect in a mass murder a few hours later.

What Is 'Wedding Season' About?

During the wedding, Stefan runs into the church and announces that he objects to the marriage. However, Katie, the bride, is in no hurry to leave with him. She rudely chases the young man out of the ceremony, forcing him to go home brokenhearted.

Soon, the police burst into Stefan's apartment and arrest him as a suspect in a murder case. During the reception, it turns out that all of the groom's relatives, including the groom himself, died of poisoning.

The bride, the prime suspect, has fled, and Stefan is now considered an accomplice to the crime.

'Wedding Season' Is All About the Charming Characters and Their Chemistry

The greatest strength of Wedding Season is its characters, whose every move and mini-breakdown is captivating to watch. Stefan is an unwavering romantic with a tendency to see his future wife in every girl.

His actions and personality continually evoke Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. He dreams of settling down, enviously attends his friends' weddings, and drowns his loneliness in champagne.

At first, Katie seems like a typical manic pixie dream girl: an extraordinary, unpredictable woman who steals phones at weddings, lies about her past, and appears in Stefan's life at the most inopportune moments.

However, despite the fact that such heroines are usually mere muses and saviors from routine, Katie reveals that she is not so much the embodiment of male fantasies as she is a person with a difficult past.

The Intrigue in 'Wedding Season' Will Keep You Guessing Until the Very End

Rosa Salazar's charisma is effective – we, like Stefan, find ourselves caught up in this girl's web time and again. She could be telling the truth or lying through her teeth, and we never know which it is.

Intrigue, one of Wedding Season's main tools, keeps you captivated and disappointed in a repeating cycle with no chance to catch a break.

At the same time, the acting overshadows all the script's flaws and shortcomings. Gavin Drea and Rosa Salazar create the on-screen spark that makes us enjoy romantic stories.

Wedding Season is the perfect choice for those who love it when love and danger go hand in hand and when solving the mystery is just as important as sharing a final kiss.
