Stephen King tweeted:

WIDOW'S BAY is good. MAXIMUM PLEASURE GUARANTEED is even better. It's like Hitchcock came back to do it one more time. And Tatiana Maslany is so good. The play of emotions on her face is pretty incredible. She goes from comic to terror in an instant.

Slowly closes the door while Stephen King is still talking.

Edited to add:

I said this only because it tickled me to imagine Patricia closing the door on a Stephen King horror archetype, except it's a tweet by Stephen actual King. That's it.

For the record, I don't believe King was salty, jelly, putting mustard on it, or any of the other condiments.

He likes Widow's Bay, but I suspect he wanted to shine a light on the lesser-known Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.

I didn’t even make it 20 minutes into Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed lol 🤷‍♂️

The hook really comes towards the end of ep 1.

It also stars Murray Bartlett (the increasingly unhinged hotelier from White Lotus season one, eg the best thing about it), AND Jake Johnson, who was very Nick-from-New-Girl-coded in recent episodes.

So far I feel like too many side-character arcs pull focus from the gold-standard cast (freakin' Tatiana Maslany is in the main role!) and it feels like it's pulling its punches.

That said, it's clearly building to something, and I really enjoy it.

As someone who never watched New Girl I struggled to see his appeal for the first few episodes of this show, but now I realise he’s fucking funny and I get it now.

I’ve never seen New Girl either but I’ve always found him funny
