I also stared watching based on Guillermo del Toroâs recommendation. He was right.
With Guillermo del Toroâs recommendation, I started watching Apple TV âs âWidowâs Bay.â Itâs so incredibly good that I couldnât stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. Itâs packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayorâs tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from âJaws.â The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of âTwin Peaks.â Itâs been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I canât wait for next Wednesdayâs final episode.
