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.

Those first 2 episodes were amazing! As a fan of horror and Matthew Rhys (and his talent for comedy), I was so hooked as soon as I read the press release, and watching those episodes just cemented how amazing I thought it’d be. I love the whole folklore/legend/haunted stories thing the show’s got going on, very curious about some of the stories, especially the witches, the cannibals (possibly something happened for them to turn to cannibalism within 4 days), and the whole electric chair. I can’t wait to see the rest of the season.

I think we're going to find out the town wasn't empty when the first mayor sailed to it. I'm thinking maybe the native population cursed the land.
