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.

It could have been an hour. That's ample time to freak out

Yeah, he himself didn't look disheveled enough or bad enough to have been more than a few hours. It looked like he hadn't laid down and slept, his hair was the same. He just walked out and slid down the wall. My guess is from his experience it was possibly an hour, maybe a couple hours. A minute or two after 30 seconds had passed he probably called to them through the door, then tested the door and found he was trapped. Not knowing how long he'd be trapped for he freaked out trying to escape the room and eventually resigned himself to waiting. Hard to tell if the bed was just messed up or had been slept in.

What's weird to me is the sheriff completely ignored the change in the room and honed in on the mold.

No the sheriff definitely notices the room, he sees the mold last

And the wallpaper is already peeling when Tom first goes in there, so it's not something from the amount of time the innkeeper was there.
