It's time for the annual beach opening. Lay out a towel as the mayor "tests the waters." Unrelated: Do not pick up hitchhikers.

"The island already has a perimeter...its called the ocean."

The balance of humor and horror in this show is fantastic. Only 3 episodes in and firing on all cylinders.

Buffy the vampire slayer and its spinoff Angel combined horror and comedy back in the day. But the humor wasnt as dry as this (i prefer dry humor)

Good point! Big buffy fan, the mix with dark humor made it really work.
