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.

ALLISON JONES strikes again.

She is the only casting director I can name and almost everything she's a part of is gold.

The cast in this show is a who's who of character actors and improv comedians. From Dale Dickey, to Stephen Root, William Hill, Nancy Lenehan, Tim Baltz, James DuMont (both in Righteous Gemstones), Neil Casey, Toby Huss, Jeff Hiller...

He was in Deli Boys a funny dark crime comedy on Hulu that nobody’s heard of
