Widow's Bay, a new comedic horror series from Apple TV, is being praised by industry professionals like Guillermo del Toro and Ben Stiller. The show pays tribute to classic horror tropes while reinventing them in surprising ways.
The series follows Tom Loftis, a widower and mayor of the quirky seaside town of Widow's Bay, as he tries to elevate the town into a trendy summer tourist destination. However, the arrival of a New York Times travel writer coincides with the onset of a mysterious fog, which local resident Wyck warns is an omen for supernatural occurrences.
With its unique blend of horror and comedy, Widow's Bay is an eminently binge-able series that is easily one of the best new series of the year.
