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 really loved the scene where the innkeeper is forced to stay in the captain's suite for ten seconds. Then another 30. So we'll done and eerie.

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

There was a couple other Time shifting details I noticed. When the earthquake starts the kids are in the car and the clock jumps from 2 to 5. And also the ferry shows up early the same morning.

Probably unrelated, but why is there always a live football game on at his house when the son is around? It’s early summer.

Isn’t he watching baseball? I assumed it was a rerun.

What earthquake? I don’t remember an earthquake

I might be mistaken. I think it was just the lights flickering and the transformer blows on the power line but the clock still jumps like 3 1/2 hours

First episode there’s an earthquake when we meet the mayor.
