    Started watching Widows Bay.

    For any of you who like David Lynch’s quirky characters and absurdity, you will like this show. Great cast too. Lovecraft lore.

    There is this scene in the first episode that hooked me.

    A museum tour guide is showing this guy around and talking about the town’s history and at one point there is a wall depicting burning witches and she says something like:
    “Oh that’s a bit of the town’s pride. we found all the witches and burned them”.

    It just gets better with every episode. Apple tv but I pirate everything so.

    Also

    Currently watching:

    From season 4.

    The terror season 3.

    Rick and Morty season 9

    Just watched The Burroughs . Was decent. And The Burbs remake series. Also decent.

    Nothing exceptional but I like quirky casts and it has that guy from “dream corp llc” and “what we do in the shadows”. I really like his character. He does the same character in everything but I still dig it.

      The acting is really good, especially the mayor. The story feels a little disjointed at times but I really like it.

        I loved that party episode.

        The twist really caught me off guard.

      I’m about to wrap up The Burroughs, and have enjoyed it. Nothing ground breaking really, but it’s fun and I appreciate the older cast and one season for a change.

      Couple of episodes behind on Widow’s Bay but it is a pretty unique blend of humor, horror, and drama imo, and well worth the watch.

        Yeah the casting is pretty good and a solid show. I too enjoy one off seasons. I feel like the writing is often more concise and pacing is better when they aren’t trying to build up a bunch of unanswered questions to get people to watch the next season.
