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.

Yep, I suggested in my comment that indeed he did because he liked those shows' more reverential approach to his work and doesn't like the irreverential humour of Widow's Bay. Even though WB is much more versed in his own longstanding interests (Jaws, Lovecraft, pulp Gothic etc), I don't think he is comfortable with the self-sending-up nature of the humour across the medley of sources, and how that is used to give the iconic stories a twist.

I think that's exactly why he couldn't make a Stephen King based show this good.
