Widow’s Bay is a new Apple TV comedy from Parks and Recreation’s Katie Dippold that critics seem to love. Here’s what the first reviews say.
Most TV shows and movies fit neatly into a genre box—as a comedy, thriller, drama, and so on. And while there’s always some overlap between genres, it can be very difficult to make a full-on genre mashup work.
Apple calls its new show Widow’s Bay a “genre-bending” series that combines elements of comedy, horror, thriller, and character drama all into one.
It shouldn’t work. But based on early reviews, it sounds like it absolutely does.
Here are some excerpts from the first reviews:
Widow’s Bay premieres Wednesday, April 29 with two episodes, followed by weekly releases through June 17, and a special two-episode drop on May 27.
The series stars Matthew Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, and Dale Dickey.
It takes unique skill to pull together such an odd mix of genres, but creator and showrunner Katie Dippold, director Hiro Murai, and the rest of the creative team and cast clearly have brought the goods.
