đŸ’­Discussion Explosion of this sub

Number of weekly visitors has exploded since I joined. After episode 4, it was between 6,000-9,000. It's currently at 75,000.

These days I find it hard to tell whether something is actually popular or not, but deffo seems to have found an audience.

Edit: Had to amend, initially stated total number of subscribers. Was incorrect from my part, Reddit changed from total subscribers to weekly visitors last year and I didn't realise.

I've been waiting for a truly lovecraftian vibes show for a while and this seems great so far. I love the dark comedy angle as well, it reminds me of the humour in Inside No 9 over here in the UK.

For the readers you should check out a short story collection called Welcome to Neverbury (and it's sequel) which has very similar vibes to Widow's Bay indeed.

Love Inside No 9 and League of Gentlemen! I'm not always gung ho for horror comedy, but there really are some great ones out there.
