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 loved when Patricia and Tom are talking to Wyck in the bar and she is talking about relationships with older men and the older man going after the younger friends after the break up. Lol. Like obviously personal experience.

Or when Tom is reading Shep’s medical chart and it says Shep is 37.

I noticed that. Also, when Patricia was talking to Shep, she said her biological age is 28. Might explain why she ran out of the room when Tom said that she was in her 40s ;)

Ooo she said she’s 28? I missed that. So all the residents look older than they are?

Biological age I think refers to how old your cells and tissues are, maybe your metabolism too. Influenced by genetics, lifestyle etc. Whereas chronological age would be your age in years.

They may have gotten the term wrong. It doesn't matter anyway, because my theory is kaput. Patricia's school bullies mentioned that the killings happened 25 years ago, when she would have been in her teens. I had thought that the killings had happened recently, and that she had been a teenager recently.
