Widow's Bay
Widow’s Bay starts surprisingly well. It’s beautifully filmed, atmospheric, eerie, and the mystery is genuinely intriguing. For a while, it feels like the show actually knows where it’s going.
It doesn’t.
Somewhere halfway through, the plot drives off a cliff and decides that complete nonsense is a substitute for clever writing. By the final episodes, logic has left the building and the story is basically running around unsupervised.
Which is a shame, because visually the series is excellent. Great locations, strong atmosphere, polished cinematography - all wrapped around an increasingly ridiculous script.
It starts like a mystery worth solving and ends like a joke with no punchline.
Beautifully shot. Completely derailed.
(Cait, Co-President) Matthew Rhys can do anything. It may just be an opinion, but it is one I think a lot of people share. That said, I’ve never seen him do what he does in Widow’s Bay. He walks a line of comedy, drama, and horror with ease – transitioning from one to another seeming ease. My only fear for him in this category is it being considered “comedy” when it is so much more than that. I also REALLY want to hear this acceptance speech.
How much money would someone have to pay you to go in that crawl space?! No thanks!!!
