Foundation Season 4 May 2026 Updates: Lee Pace Returns as Brother Day
Widow’s Bay ( TV)
The day after its fourth episode dropped seems like a good time to talk about Widow’s Bay, Apple TV’s latest hit show.
I think it is fair to say it is a hit, and though I am an outsider when it comes to this genre, I think it works pretty well. As I did with Murderbot, I do wonder at the decision to make the episodes so short, but I suppose the idea is to trim the fat, keep it lean and mean, and have more impact that way. As I said, it works well. You could think of it as a horror anthology series, with a different monster of the week afflicting the same set of characters. That said, there is a continuity storyline, too. I think.
Matthew Rhys is the headliner playing small town Mayor Tom Loftus, who wants to turn his town of Widow’s Bay into a tourist destination to rival Martha’s Vineyard.
Short sidebar here to consider the Americanness of this kind of thing. I was listening to Dierk Bentley’s song “Sun Sets in Colorado” the other day, and I couldn’t help wondering about UK place names that could be substituted for the evocative mountain state. One could hardly talk about being a “mile high” in Wolverhampton.
So won't you come out here with meAnyway, Widow’s Bay is the island town that wants to out do Martha’s Vineyard. Like Hayling Island wanting to be better than the Isle of Wight.
But there’s a problem. The place is cursed. There are bogeymen, murders, wraiths, ghosts. It’s a particular problem that the main guest house/inn is haunted and there’s a room that even the proprietor (especially the proprietor) won’t go in.
Of course arch-rationalist Tom Loftus is having nothing of this, and even has Wyck (Stephen Root), the town drunk who insists that “they’re coming”, locked up.
In the first episode, a reporter from the New York Times turns up, and the tone is set. It’s quite comical, the way the mayor desperately tries to keep the weird happenings from this guy, to the point (of course) of behaving very weirdly himself.
In the second episode, the Mayor is challenged by locals to spend the night in the haunted inn. Of course, the inn’s proprietor doesn’t sleep there, oh no. But there is another guest, so Tom has company…
In the third episode, the mayor goes for the traditional “first swim of the summer season” in the sea, and… something chases him back to shore.
Which brings us to the best episode so far, which is this week’s “Beach Reads”. The focus character this week is Tom’s slightly weird assistant, Patricia (Kate O’Flynn), who cuts a lonely figure. She’s a member of a haunted generation who were at school together when several of their classmates were murdered. But what she’s really haunted by (and this is where Widow’s Bay crosses paths with Buffy) are the mean girls who are still horrible to her, all these years later. But she finds a self-help book in the local mobile library, and follows its advice in organising a party.
Such a party.
You’ll want to keep rewinding to catch background details.
Anyway, Widow’s Bay. Check it out. It’s great, the episodes are between 36 and 44 minutes, and each one is a pearl.
