Who else here watched episode 5?
>>220626235comfy show. it's just bad that these sort of shows now take a year to make a stinking 10 episode season. Back in the 90s and the 00s, they fucking made shows like this with 20+ episode seasons every year.
>>220626642Yeah it's crazy to think that LOST churned out 20 44 minute episodes every year for 6 years. I hope this show catches on so we get a second season.
>>220626235every episode so far:>end on cliffhanger>next episode...>previous cliffhanger ignored>end on new cliffhanger>next episode...>previous cliffhanger ignored>end on new cliffhangeri feel like im watching Lost in the 90's waiting a whole week for fucking answers that never arrive, and it's PISSING ME OFF!!sorry had to get that off my chest. good series so far. love the main actor, great actor. i might wait for all the remaining episodes to drop before watching any more because i hate this waiting a week shit
>>220626836That's one of my favorite jokes in the series. It's taking the piss out of the endless cliffhangers/lore expansion. I feel bad for all the people who are waiting for all these plot threads to get tied together nicely in a bow because I don't think that's what they're going for here.
>>220626712It wasn't even a year it was every four months. the last seasons were about 8 and that was EXCRUCIATING and they had to beg for that time off and to do less episodes. this is why we need big network jews back they wouldn't tolerate this shit. they would rather fire everyone or put the show runners in the hospital for overwork than to delay shows.
>>220626891its a little clickbaity. i understand why they do it, its a tactic that has always annoyed me. i quit Lost after 1 season the first time it aired because it was just so infuriating. bingewatched it years later, bloody great series! when you're not waiting 4 years to find out why a polar bear showed up
>>220626836it's like watching Scooby Doo. campy series.
>>220626979>every four monthsYou're right, an entire season's production would essentially be a full time job for the whole year with a few breaks. I get actors not wanting to get locked into a single job for a whole year and producers being cheapskates, but when a good show like this comes along, I wish they at least pulled a Vice Principals where they shoot a couple seasons at the same time.
>>220627035i look forward to wednesdays so its doing something right
>>220626235Not yet.I liked the two episodes working in unison. Particularly when he was checking his answering machine and the crazy girl goes,>"I'm at the sundown mixer... WHERE YOU SAID YOU'D BE!" *click*Then the next episode they show that phone call. She's so unhinged. Still not waifu material, I'm afraid. Should have cast Alison Brie in that role instead.
Best show airing
>>220627828I like how autistic she is. Very cute. Hated how the other bitches treated her.
I don't think much of the comedy is very funny and the horror isn't very spooky but I really like this show for some reason
>>220628938i find most of the jokes funny. watching how the mayor deals with being knee deep in lovecraftian shit is a hoot. the tone of this show is perfect.
I legitimately thought this shit was an It spinoff for a second after seeing the clown in the second episode.
Ok, this episode delivered. Demonic Dale and the whole trip are just perfect. The camera work, the audio.I hate the kid though.
>>220626235
>>220626235I watched.
>>220626235This is definitely a top show this year, and I don't even normally go for shows with a majority-black cast. Jordan Peele has done it again, and is sure to be honored with an Ebony Black Achievement Award for this effort.
>>220627828>Still not waifu materialgood, you can't have her anyway. she is my waifu already.
>>220630488seek help
>>220626836>First episode ends with the shot of a electric chair under ground. not really a cliffhanger, just some world building>second episode no cliffhanger>3rd episode ends with the panicked phone call from the copnext episode is 100% about what the cop calls about>4th ep, ends with them finding the priestnext episode starts with them investigating the priests death and trying to enforce a island wide curfew. am i crazy? or are you crazy? The only thing that immediately addressed would be the electric chair, but that's not even a huge thing at all.
>>220626836severance, but slower paced
>>220630488Jordan Peele is genuinely good and you're so buckbroken by stupid twitter memes that you can't watch a fresh horror movie without devolving into idpol hysteria.
>>220630735Why can't Jordan Peele make a movie without devolving into idpol hysteria?
>>220630994It's baffling. There's no DEI or woke shit here, Jordan Peele just makes a show called Widow's Bay, about an historically-black New England town that gets invaded by two white people in a rowboat, something which actually happened btw, and 4chan starts freaking out.
Kino show
>>220630488Fuck off. This is the Whitest show on TV
Finished episode 3.I wasn't expecting things to start getting hectic this fast. Its really interesting.Rhys and Root are playing their parts perfectly too, love em'.The son sucks though; that character archetype always does.
>>220631655I agree, it's insanely impressive how Jordan Peele manages to invert stereotypes with such masterful subtlety, that by the end of S1E1 you are hardly even seeing skin color any more. I barely recognized SpotemGottem when he appeared as a main cast member in S1E3.
>>220630493I don't like her chin
>>220630994>>220631142>>220631990chuds are so addicted to outrage that a 99% white show bores them and they have to do this schizo stuff
Jordan Peele isn't involved in this show. What are you fellas even talking about?
I hate that kid so much. Is it really implied he's not the mayor's son or is it just some weird casting?
>>220631990>>220631142>liberal who is mad that we are enjoying a show with a very White cast
>>220626235I enjoy this White kino
>>220633271>Is it really implied he's not the mayor's sonIts not implied, it was explicitly stated that the mayor's wife was already pregnant when he met her
>>220633637No, it was stated that she was pregnant before they married.
>>220626235His alpaca haired son is an ass.
>>220626235I think some of the more overt supernatural stuff in this show isn't necessary. It kinda feels cheap or gimmicky when the characters themselves and the underlying mythology, superstition and offbeat dry humor is more than capable of holding the show if it were explored further. Still, not bad.
>>220626235Too much aesthetic and not much story. It is ok
I miss the americans
>>220632797>Jordan Peele isn't involved in this show. What are you fellas even talking about?He might not be credited as director/producer, but it's directly based on his webcomic: "Jordan Peele's Widow's Bay, by Jordan Peele".... and he's always there behind the scenes to protect the original vision. In other words, Jordan Peele's just not acting in this, he's guarding the lore.
>>220634968No it isn't, schizo retard
the edgelord kids got out of school and immediately started shitting up the thread i see
>>220636219There's only one place all these retarded shitposts could be coming from, and we all know it.... From the twisted mind of Jordan Peele
>>220636381kek
>>220627086>Noooo I get steady employment and good pay, and I have to hang out in Hawaii for a good chunk of the year!!!! Please god help me I’m going le insane!!!
>>220626836I don't mind this because the characters, dialogue, writing and overall atmosphere are solid. In a show like From none of this is true so the endless padding and cliffhanger endings are a slap in the face. But I get where you're coming from, Widow's Bay does feel a little bit mystery boxy.
>>220637133i dont think it feels mystery boxy at all. i think people are schizo from years of bad television.
>>220638196You're probably right, my brain has been poisoned by From.
>>220626836I'm pretty sure they're just trying to integrate episodic spooky island town stories in with an overarching plot. My guess is that the evil mist could return, but stuff like the Sea Hag, the evil book, and the haunted inn/killer clown ghost are finished stories.
>>220629001Episode 4 "You told me to be supportive" line was a perfect delivery of comedic timing
>>220630373My wife and I lost it at this moment. The dramatic buildup of the drug dealer talking about crazy shapes and it's just a traced hand lmao
>>220631655doesn't anyone watch credits at all? it's an asian mans show, that's why there is nothing original in it at all but it's still pretty good
>dead thread>dead fandom >no news of a renewal Widow's Bay bros...It's over
>>220626235After watching this dog shit season of the boys, this new show has been a true blessing to me. I just want to forget lol. Characters and ambience in this show are pretty cool
>>220626235I'm gonna watch it tomorrow. Time for bed.
>>220626235Laughed my ass off the entire episode.
>>220626712Me too.
his son is a huge piece of shit. never listened to his dad once the entire season
>>220642890>may I insult and demean you as part of a charade to impress some tourist slut?
is this better than From?
>>220643063A better show? Yes. But it doesn't provide as many shitposting opportunities, so I'll let you decide what is really better.
>>220643063i only saw only half a season of From which is where this is so far and I like it a lot more. From has such horrible acting that it's distracting. This has great actors involved
>>220642890He'll leave the island and die
>>220632797>almost no blacks in the show>autists have to flip out anyway
>>220643116They're upset that we finally have a White show
>>220643113seems like a possible setup but god damn that would be an exhausting plotline of the mayor grieving forever over it
i told myself if this episode didn't deliver i don't think the should would be kino and it really wasn't. felt like filler besides we found out his wife died while trying to leave the island so he's been in denial of it all being true forever
>>220643632But they said nothing happened!
>>220626235episode 4 hit too close to home
this shit made me kek during the reveal
>looks at Dale through a mirror>Demonic Dale mask scene immediately triggersSo what's up with that? The mask-of-your-own-face thing is common with hallucinogenics, is it just a gag or is Dale the boogeyman?
it's a good show but i relies too much on comedic moments where people are humiliated. cringe and horror don't mix well for me
I think i'm just craving a kino show to come along that i'm too harsh on things. this show is fine and entertaining. just nothing special yet.
>>220644120>cringe and horror don't mix well for mecringe is a type of horror
>>220644424>cringe is a type of horrorHuh. I've never considered this before but you're absolutely correct.
>>220626235Weakest episode so far
>>220626836The first episode didn't end on a cliffhanger though? It was setting up the premise of the cursed island which was unknown to the viewer if it was real or local superstition, the end confirms that it's realThe second episode also had no cliffhanger, the hotel is haunted, Loftis now begins to accept the island is hauntedThe third episode ends with a cliffhanger that is immediately addressed at the start of the next episode, Loftis in his dealing with the hag also accepts the reality that the island is cursedThe fourth episode ends with a cliffhanger that the beginning of the fifth episode has the characters investigate, this leads to a deeper discovery about why the island might be cursedSo what the fuck are you on about? Are you actually watching the show or is your tiktok addled brain unabled to watch more than 5 minutes before you need to 'doom scroll' and shove a vape up your arsehole
>>220644424i disagree. they don't go well hand in hand.
my only criticism of this programme is the extremely curious lack of waifus. even the waifus aren't waifus. very spooky.Also I have noticed that no one seems to have seen or heard of these ghosts except the older people and our characters. No one else on the island is freaking out about ghosts and hauntings so I have suspicion that to an extent it's All In Their Mind. The lady from ep3 said she was staying at the Inn and had no complaints.
>>220644639Wrong. Pic related, it's Exhibit A for the case that I'm making and it's also the name of the film.
>>220644667>my only criticism of this programme is the extremely curious lack of waifusgrow up, retard
>>220644699>no waifus in MY kino thank you very much!wtf?
>>220626235Im finna wait till final episode drops. Fags that wait weekly for episode should unironically commit
>>220644667>Also I have noticed that no one seems to have seen or heard of these ghosts except the older people and our characters.Wyck repeatedly mentions in the first two episodes that the "island is waking up" and how it's been about 60 years since they last had to use the siren for the fog, which would be why younger generations haven't had direct dealings like the older generation
>>220644667>>220644770Also the middle aged guys at the pub that tell Loftis to stay overnight are aware the hotel is haunted and even list the events that have happened over the years that occurred there and give him a checklist to complete related to the various events
so how did loftis end up back in his bed at ep 3 when the camcorder showed he was playing board games???
>>220644770this show is confusing for from-addled tv watchers because it's tightly written and both dialogue and set dressing are flooded with clues.
>>220626642>>220626712Each episode is actually pretty well written and thought out. Shows in the 90's and 00s were filled with 20 episodes of mid or filler episodes. I will concede on the fact that 2-3 years to produce a single season is absolutely retarded, I'm not sure what's going on but I honestly just forget what happened in the previous seasons when watching modern shows.>>220626836It's building towards the unifying cause of all the crazy phenomena on the island. It will all connect in the end.
>>220645266Seems so, because the cliffhangers that a poster earlier mentioned are addressed either in the episode itself, like in episode one with Shep and the fog confirming the island is cursed, or episode three going into four and four going into five which immediately picks up to where the previous episode left off and explores what happened
>>220644763ok zoomer
>>220645328He's wrong though because there are no unresolved cliffhangers that are ignored, no idea what he's talking about, they're either addressed in the episode itself or immediately in the next episode and are all as you said interconnected into a bigger story
>>220645364It’s just bland. I enjoy that they try to bring humor into the setting but it’s not enough to have an interesting plot. Not saying it’s horrible either, just nothing special
>>220645364the state of modern tv has scrambled a lot of brains. this show is so expertly constructe3d that it should supersede those triggers but the modern tv programming is too deep seated.
>>220645415i'm genuinely curious - if you think the plot is interesting, what about it strikes you as bland? i'm curious what doesn't click for people because it's such a well made show and scratches the 90s hbo tales from the crypt itch for me.
>>220633271One of the big revelations in this episode was that the mayor knew the curse was real. This is why he refuses to take his son off the island which in turn is why the son is so pissed at his father. You can understand why the son is disrespectful and rebellious.Similarly, with the bitches being super mean to the autistic chick, it seems harsh, but then you see it from the perspective of the bitch who lost her two friends thinking autista used their tragic deaths just to get attention and you can understand their treatment of her
>>220642116Seems like a single season show - will get bad if they don’t wrap it up
>>220644037I think he’s just gay and ugly
>>220645464There arent dopamine boosts every other minute and that bores the scrollers
>>220646086they really show their ass when a good series comes out
>>220646635>they really show their asswat
>>220647286Go back to bed zoomie

>>220647800I'd definitely fuck her, something weirdly hot about her
>>220643632They haven't shown her to be explicitly dead though.Maybe she's off island in a care home
>>220626235That moment when the Hag is going to sit on his face my wife was like:>there is no way, that she would sit on his face, haha
