r/WidowsBay

I read some posts that said the comedy isn‘t doing it for them as it lessens the scares. Well, for me it would be the other way around, I hate horror movies. The last try I gave the genre was Heretic cause I like Hugh Grant, but I fast-forwarded a lot. I just get scared too easily. Like, I FEEL movies and TV shows. But I heard so many great things about Widows Bay and think that Apple shows are generally amazing, but am wondering whether I should start. Can I fast forward sometimes? Would I have to? Is the mystery and quirkiness of the show bigger than the horror element?

Please don’t bring us back to a Widow’s Bay without Shaman. It won’t be the same if he doesn’t pop up at random times. Hopefully he comes back to us. Maybe he was dropped into the sea by the tornado, still holding onto his tube socks. We need to know if he ever found the absconded cat. 😊

I had no idea this was possibly a universal experience until I heard Gerri apologize for her “math teacher coffee breath” in ep. 5. How many people had a math teacher like this? It’s such a specific reference, I love it.

I was very skeptical because when they nominate this show for best comedy, I thought "oh here we go again, another The Bear situation". However, I soon realized that this show is hilarious. Because one second I'm terrified of the whole scene, and then Patricia comes in without knocking because she forgot her purse. That's incredible writing.

Honestly, I hope this show keeps going more than 2 seasons (I believe it's low chances) and we can really appreciate this two-opposite genre shows.

I love when a character realizes something so terrible has happened that they start to lose their sense of reality and all they can do is say “No” over and over again. On a recent rewatch, I realized this happens 3 times in Season 1. Patricia in ep. 4 when she finds her “Your Turn” book was a book of witchcraft the whole time, Wick in ep. 7 when he sees the paddle boat has come undone from his boat, meaning he’ll have to cross the threshold himself, and Loftis in ep. 10 when he realizes his son is the descendant of Richard Warren.

What’s something you’ve noticed on a recent rewatch that you didn’t catch the first time around?

So I added the “theories” flair because I am curious about these theories about Patricia being a witch or related to the witches who were burned or something like that that I’ve been reading.
I just finished the first season, and there is a lot going on in this show, and I think I missed it. Like is there something else other than the weird behaviour and ‘headdress’.

Awesome show, by the way, it’s very funny and very well done.

Throughout history, lesbians and gay men often still married opposite sex partners and reproduced in order to conform to society's expectations or avoid being outed. But in Widow's Bay, it seems that they were allowed to do their own thing, even in the 1800s.

Cursed? Yes. But apparently not bigoted. Maybe Warren deserves a little more credit 🤔

I was laughing crying last night with this scene, so funny to me:

Wyck: >!“Stage 1, the eyes turn white,” he warns. “Stage 2, loss of the five senses and delirium. Stage 3, loss of erection.”!<

Patricia:“Who the hell is trying after Stage 2?

Patricia and this show is hilarious!!
