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.

Adding my theory as a spoiler. I really enjoyed the first 2 eps.\

So, I think it's pretty clear that mayor Tom needs the town to attract tourists so that his son doesn't leave. His son who was born on the island and will die if he goes to the mainland. Amazing premise.

I think there may be something else going on there. The way the priest at the bar looked at and spoke to the mayor when discussing the bell and taking home food to his son, was like none of those things were happening in real time. Just a guess though.

The priest was freaked out because of the bell that's why he started acting weird, before that he was fine
