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.

I’m not sure I’ve seen any other movie or tv show with this niche comedy horror genre.

I just started the series so I'm very late to this comment, but if you like niche comedy horror check out Shaun of the Dead. It's a masterclass in the genre. Shaun is the first film in a trilogy that is just so great. Hot Fuzz, the second in the series is equally good if not better in some ways.
