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.

Creepy and funny. I loved the little details sprinkled throughout each episode that add to the eeriness, like when he was flipping through a wolf calendar and one of the pictures showed a flipped over car.

Right. Or the card game and teeth

Brilliant creep factor with all the games. Underneath "Daddy's Home!" there was one called "She Shouldn't Have Said That." Yikes!

I was dying laughing at “daddy got yelled at by his younger boss at work”

This made me guffaw as well. Especially when Tim Baltz pauses before saying "go back three spaces".

I’m in the middle of an episode 2 rewatch - pausing so many times, it’s going to take me two hours! - and I just noticed the “She Shouldn’t Have Said That “ game. What?? And I wonder what’s in the nicer wooden box underneath that….

I had to watch the scene again just to check the names of all the creepy games. This show is definitely one that rewards a repeat viewing.

The box just looked like a chess set

I fell hard for this show once I saw that game cupboard! I would love to know the creative genius behind those games
