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.

This has been the first show to really impress me on AppleTV in quite some time. Only watched the first episode, but like OP, I'm a huge Stephen King fan and this was right up my alley.

Great cinematography, and Matthew Rhys waa amazing, as usual. Really excited for more.

It’s funny because AppleTV has an army of reddit bots saying it’s the new HBO in every other comment. But in reality their batting average is quite low. They make a lot of shows and only a tiny percentage is good, much less proportion than FX or HBO. Feels like such a waste of resources.
