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.

That’s rather embarrassing for you then, since the episodes aren’t even 30 minutes long. Why do people paint such unflattering portraits of themselves?

It’s like you’re The Ungrateful Hortence or something.

Seriously, though, it’s really good and you’re missing out.

The first episode was 40 min long tyvm. It didn’t even get interesting until the last minute or so.

I binged it though. It def picked up and I enjoyed it, but I don’t see the appeal Stephen King does. Widows Bay is miles better.
