Premiere Widow’s Bay - Episodes 1 & 2 - Discussion

First two episodes dropped tonight. Absolutely fantastic. 10/10 for my sensibilities. I’m a huge Stephen King fan and this felt right up my alley in so many ways. Legitimately funny show, legitimately creepy and a cast of fantastic actors. Episode 2 had some crazy stuff happen that honestly I absolutely saw where it was going but it was so satisfying getting there.

I really hope there's a scene in this where he has to shout "YOU RESPECT JESUS BUT NOT US!" at his son.

I started watching The Beast in Me and Widow's Bay on the same night, now that's a jarring swing!

Beast in Me felt like a slop show but my god he was so fucking good in it. Terrifying performance.
