Skillful blend of comedy and horror. Stephen Root is brilliant as always. The actress who plays patricia is particularly a scene stealer but really everybody in the cast is phenomenal. First time ive felt this hooked on a show in a while.

I like it, and it’s the first thing I think of when people say “Black comedy is just code for ‘not funny’”, because it’s so thin on flat-out humor, but most of the episodes are funny in a dark way. That’s black comedy, as far as I’m concerned. It’s a funny show, and I’m very much enjoying it.
It’s also very refreshing that it doesn’t have the Steven King stank on it. I’m so sick of his style where it’s “scary” primarily because the characters act as if it’s scary. In Widow’s Bay, it’s scary because almost no one has any idea what the fuck is going on, and the characters are trying to figure out what the rules are at more or less the same pace as the audience. A lot of the humor comes from the comedic timing of dry lines, which is still humor.
Tom’s little startles crack me up.
