Matthew Rhys Stars in Spooky, Hilarious ‘Widow’s Bay’ on Apple TV: TV Review

Image
Your next off-kilter binge is here! Widow’s Bay (streaming now on Apple TV) stars Matthew Rhys ( The Americans ) as Tom, the skeptical mayor of the New England town Widow’s Bay, who would love nothing more than to see his seaside hamlet become the next great tourist destination. The problem? Tom refuses to believe residents’ claims that the place is haunted. Then the weirdness starts… and he soon discovers that his offbeat townsfolk may be right. Horror fans will be delighted to see so many of the genre’s tropes cleverly on display here, from a Cassandra figure ( Barry ’s Stephen Root ) who metes out unheeded warnings, to spooky hotels where time is frozen and dark alleys full of jump scares. The 10-episode horror-comedy, created by Katie Dippold ( Parks and Recreation ), is perfect for grown-up Strangers Things fans who don’t mind an unsettling tale but also appreciate oddball character work from a murderers’ row of talent. (A deadpan Kate O’Flynn is just one highlight.) Ap...

Local police declined to press charges.) “I have felt absolutely sick to my stomach and horrible for what everyone involved must be feeling and going through,” Matthews wrote, in part, on Saturday. “However, it is not my job to enable poor or dangerous behavior from either party, especially when children are involved. That doesn’t mean I don’t love them or want the best for their individual futures. It just means I cannot sit here and pretend it’s OK that years of destructive behavior are now being discussed more than ever online and turned into a ‘pick a s...
