Widow's Bay on Apple TV+
I watched the first episode last night.
I was a little disappointed.
It's got two of my favorite actors: Michael Rhys and Stephan Root.
The idea is that Michael Rhys is the mayor of a small New England town on an island off the coast. The island is haunted/cursed/possessed by evil spirits or something.
It was described as a horror-comedy.
I was kind of picturing X-Files with laughs.
My husband said it was like X-Files crossed with Fawlty Towers. (His opinion, not mine).
There were not many laughs, I feel it is lacking in comedy, if that's supposed to be a significant element.
It's not terrible, and sometimes first episodes aren't a fair depiction of a whole show.
I'm going to give it at least two more episodes before I make up my mind about watching the whole thing.
Anybody else watching it?
