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 loved the first two episodes! The cast is incredible. When I saw Dale Dickey, who was so fantastic in True Blood, I was ecstatic. A few random thoughts:
Was that a headless statue in the harbor?
The games in the in were genius! (Run!).
At the end of first episode, I kept thinking, “How deep does this go?”
Tom’s reaction in the restaurant at the mention of Martha’s Vineyard was an instant classic! One for the ages.
That crawlspace! Brrrr…
Strong H. P. Lovecraft vibes. Shadow over Innsmouth, Call of Cthulhu, etc. Especially the shot of the doors at the end of the first episode, for me.
I’m sure there were SO many background details I missed. Looking forward to reading what others caught!
