The 10-episode series stars Matthew Rhys as a New England mayor attempting to boost tourism on his island, which locals believe is cursed, with a cast also including Dale Dickey and Stephen Root. Widow's Bay has received widespread critical acclaim, achieving a perfect 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers highlighting its unique blend of comedy and horror. Critics have lauded Rhys's "top-notch physical comedy" and the show's "singular" nature, describing it as an "intriguingly creepy, oddly cozy" and "neat, off-beat offering." The first seven episodes of the series are currently available for streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes being released every Wednesday until June 17.
