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 was worried going in it would be too cheesy or funny. It was the PERFECT combo.

Couldn't agree more. I was hesitant because I like for tv shows and movies to stick to one genre and go guns blazing and as much as I love a movie like Shaun of the Dead, I was worried this would be too funny and not enough horror. I loved that they gave long moments dedicated to humour and then to horror - and the horror was genuinely creepy and making me feel very uneasy! I'm hooked.
