This is a fantastic new show that just came out. Horror comedy, or comedic horror… a bit of Stephen King, a bit of Lovecraft, a bit of Twin Peaks, a bit of Donald Glover’s show Atlanta, but really fantastic so far. Matthew Rhys stars as the mayor of a small New England island town trying to promote tourism at the same time of bizarre and creepy occurrences, with the long-time locals certain that the island is cursed and haunted. Two episodes out so far, and highly recommended.
I’m in. I just finished the second episode. It’s weird and different, creepy but also a bit silly. It’s fun to see actors I haven’t seen awhile, too. Boz (Toby Huss) from Halt and Catch Fire and John Murphy (Kevin Carroll) from The Leftovers, in particular. The always dependable Dale Dickey, as well.
I’m pretty much in on any Matthew Rhys project and it hasn’t failed me yet. Same for his partner, Keri Russell.
