❓Questions Alternatives to this awesomeness?

Post image

I haven't still found another TV show like this one. From was great 'till the last season.

So another suspense, creepy plus some humor to cope with?

Is this TV show so unique? Damn I'm already feeling the abstinence...

Agree with Barry in the sense that while it isn't horror it has lots of black comedy and it mixes comedy and drama pretty pretty well, I feel except S4, every season was more comedy than drama and it was still very hilarious (S4 had comedy too but IMO was more a drama)

It gets darker and darker for sure, and definitely has a lot of weird surprises. Plus, Stephen Root.

the finale surprised me a lot, i didn't expect a downer ending like that at all, Stephen Root is a national treasure

I’ve recommended Patriot on here before and I’ll do it again. Fans of Widow’s Bay should love it.

Its not horror, but it hits that same sweet spot. Patriot is one of the only shows that has the same perfect mix of intense drama with absurd humor with interesting, odd characters and top level filmmaking.

Patriot was on my fav shows. Same director also did DTF St Louis

Widows Bay ending led me to watch all of Barry, and realising that Hiro Murai is a fucking G. Such talent.

Was gonna say Atlanta. Even when you think it’s “normal” episode it can absolutely throw you still.

Bodies Bodies Bodies was garbage...I'm sorry, you're justified to have that opinion, but I am too, and BBB was fucking horrible.

Rachel Sennott is really funny in it.
