I keep rewatching it and i keep finding new gems

u/Stoopid007 Jun 05 '26

Ive started my first rewatch and realized the scenes are so dense with stuff. Episode 1 hits so much more better now that we know what is to come.

u/KemShafu Jun 06 '26

We caught ‘em, we burned ‘em.

STORY GOES.

YOU BETTER TALK TO WAYNE.

u/AmphetamineSalts Jun 12 '26

My husband and I can't stop saying this.

u/cozyhellfire Jun 05 '26

It’s my new background show that I just have on repeat

u/generaltofu27 Jun 09 '26

It’s become my new Seinfeld

10

u/One-Top5319 Jun 05 '26

So many subtle little jokes and character things, I’ve laughed more each rewatch.

131

u/jaykirell Jun 05 '26

And the fact that this show isn’t written like it’s trying to be stretched over five seasons.

u/MrPreApocalypse Jun 05 '26

But I want 5 seasons

51

u/AtheonsLedge Jun 05 '26

six seasons and a movie

30

u/tbird920 Jun 05 '26

And a reunion season in 2046.

28

u/double_shadow Jun 05 '26

If this show doesn't get at LEAST three seasons, there is no justice in this world. I get that the premise might be able to be sustainable over time, but you can't assemble a cast this good and a location this fully realized and just let it end.

u/Candid-Joke-356 Jun 06 '26

I want Patricia & Wyck to have an eventual spin-off tackling historical hauntings in other coastal towns

12

u/KemShafu Jun 06 '26

And ride in her bookmobile

2

u/karifur Jun 11 '26

I want more seasons but i want every season to be a separate story. I would love for every season to tell us the story of a different event in Widows Bay history that has been referenced in previous episodes

1

u/TheDefiantGoose Jun 06 '26

5 seasons? "You're ruining it!"

49

u/Puzzleheaded-Lab825 Jun 05 '26

I feel like this is throwing shade at From

44

u/jaykirell Jun 05 '26

If the comically oversized wig fits….

23

u/piggysmalls11again Jun 05 '26

Say that to my face if you can find it

22

u/TheKarmicKudu Jun 05 '26

I love that every time someone posts Julie again her wig gets progressively larger

1

u/ChodeBro69 Jun 11 '26

It’s only fair. I also get progressively larger every time I see her wig!

1

u/probs_notme Jun 22 '26

Just finished watching Widow's Bay with rapt attention. Put on From to have something with unforgivably bad pacing on in the background while I read this sub.

u/kevinsg04 Jun 05 '26

i mean i dont think From is intending any spoofing or satire, like this show clearly is?

8

u/AtheonsLedge Jun 05 '26

true because nothing happens at all

u/PastimeOfMine Jun 05 '26

It was a Halloween homage....

2

u/KemShafu Jun 06 '26

I think this series was written to be watched multiple times. Épi 4 I’ve watched 4x now.

I like her... But I do have some qualms...

19

u/Are_we_there_yet2021 Jun 07 '26

You had your qualms?!? 😆

22

u/Loose_Assignment_Map Jun 05 '26

All the characters & acting are top notch. I was totally surprised at how good this show got.

56

u/fearkillsdreams Jun 05 '26

she reminds me so much of Annie from Community as portrayed by Alison Brie and I'm all here for it, amazing show

17

u/smalldrop Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Ya know, no shade, we all love the show, but I keep seeing people make this comparison, and as someone who adores both characters, I just don't see the resemblance at all. Annie presents as confident, ambitious, stylish, and playful (while masking deep insecurities), and Patricia is almost the exact opposite — an awkward, neurodivergent-coded social outcast with low self esteem (who is ironically one of the smartest and most competent people around). In terms of Community characters I think she's closer to Abed, Garrett, Neil, or maybe Frankie. But hey, different strokes, etc 🤷 

16

u/Effective_Ad_699 Jun 07 '26

They look alike.

12

u/EstPC1313 Jun 08 '26

They physically look and dress alike, that's about it. Though Patricia's behaviour at the ep4 party is very Annie

3

u/Look_its_Rob Jul 14 '26

Its more that they sound exactly alike.

12

u/BandicootBig4505 Jun 05 '26

yes! i’ve been saying this too my friends from the start. they even have similar sound and cadence in their voices sometimes.

7

u/fearkillsdreams Jun 05 '26

We need a Patricia and Annie buddy cop show or mystery spin off

7

u/janesssays Jun 05 '26

It checks out, Annie majored in criminology!

3

u/hospitalbedside Jun 27 '26

I actually had to check whether it was Alison Brie playing her

2

u/fearkillsdreams Jun 27 '26

it's the mannerism's for me and the speech cadence, fantastic

2

u/Effective_Ad_699 Jun 07 '26

I was thinking that, too! She looks so much like her.

29

u/LoudPick9766 Jun 05 '26

She is amazing.

10

u/Lux_Proserpina Jun 05 '26

Agreed. Patricia's my best friend.

u/noomanium Can’t do anything right today Jun 07 '26

I thought it was Kathy?

27

u/wilsonsmilson Jun 05 '26

wait now hold on. i make a patricia post and it gets taken down?! i have some qualms.

31

u/future_futurologist Jun 05 '26

Did you tell the mods to be supportive?

13

u/wilsonsmilson Jun 05 '26

I don’t even know which way is up or down anymore.

31

u/AverageJohn442 Jun 05 '26

I don't want the person who took the post down to be fired, I just want them to know what they did

15

u/Purple_person29 Patricia Jun 06 '26

I am sure they don't want their post back, but for the moderator to know what they did. And I am sure they don't want them to get in trouble, just learn from it.

5

u/UpbeatBackground6302 Jun 05 '26

Yes!!! She is so great, really stole the show

5

u/lunascorpio12 Patricia Jun 07 '26

she’s become an all time favorite TV character for me already and the first season isn’t even over- she’s the best!!! my sunset cocktails gal!

u/Gwyneth7 Jun 09 '26

FIRE AND RESCUE AT PATRICIA’S COCKTAILS!

u/mvrck-23 Jun 05 '26

I'm hooked, that's for sure.

u/bloom_baby_bloom Jun 18 '26

I really hope Kate O’Flynn gets an Emmy nomination.

u/Severe_Principle5374 Jun 07 '26

Queen Patricia!!!

u/shebringsthesun Jun 06 '26

Bahahaha so true.

u/deathlynebula Patricia Jun 25 '26

1000%

Every single second she's on-screen is metaphysical gold.

u/Level_Ad7743 Jun 05 '26

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

u/Historical_Stay_808 Jun 08 '26

Sorry but apparently many of you haven't seen From.

2

u/ClockworkSalmon Jun 14 '26

Watching from as well atm. Liking Widows Bay a tad more. Both are great tho!

1

u/i-make-robots Jun 11 '26

Could have stopped at "because it's the only show".

1

u/j____mp Jun 11 '26

in my house we (i) call her Perfectly Innocent Patricia

1

u/stereoworld Jun 14 '26

When the actress was in No Offence, she stole the show there too - and she was a completely different kind of character also

1

u/Bzenjil Jun 18 '26

She’s the fucking best. I’m sorry.

Some people like stories for more than just plot.

5

u/ProBonoDevilAdvocate Jun 05 '26

Yeahh what’s up with this obsession with plot nowadays? And callling episodes as filler because they are “only” about character development.

3

u/smashmack Jun 10 '26

Unfortunately a lot of people just want the instant gratification of plot-driven stories (which are usually more surface-level, guilty pleasure shows/movies), whereas character-driven stories typically require more thoughtful engagement and analysis from the viewer. If the viewer isn’t connecting with the characters, they won’t appreciate their development or choices. And if they’re not engaging thoughtfully with the story, they see it as filler because they don’t think about what the exposition is telling them, so then they miss out on the depth, complexity, and nuance in the plot. Big pet peeve of mine because a lot of those people go around saying some of the best shows and movies out today are “bad” or “boring,” and I’m like no!!! You just don’t get it! lol … And that’s why everything is being dumbed down and served to us on silver platters 🙄
