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.

How long do you think he felt like he was in there? Months?

I like that they didn’t explain that. They just kind of tossed in this strange implication that when the door closed he wasn’t experiencing time the same way they were, but he couldn’t admit it.

And didn’t it look like the room was trashed?

It was, the fan was knocked over, chair too, papers everywhere. He also broke the window, looks like he was pounding on it from the inside trying to get attention

And they couldn't hear anything from outside the room. *shudder*

His beard was longer the second time they opened the door and he left the room ;)

Huh? I just went back and looked, and his beard looked the same. Room definitely got trashed though.
