I might not be the target audience, but as much as I appreciate the vagueness of the teaser, I feel that something is missing to make them... teasing...
Got a tip for us?

Another cringeworthy trailer from Apple.
Apple needs to stop doing the “we do things differently’ thing and start dropping epic tv shows with epic trailers. Not this lame and unfunny garbage.

WIDOW'S Bay. I literally read it as WINDOW'S Bay...horror...comedy...it made sense.

I do think that is the goal of a teaser / trailer. For me, this totally worked. Most trailers are a short-version of the actual film - leaving little to discover when viewing the feature.
Unlike the standard, formulaic movie trailers that pretty much show viewers the whole story before even watching the actual feature, I found this teaser refreshingly unique and super effective, I was smiling the whole time the subject was walking away from camera - hoping that's all there was. Totally peaked my interest. I've earmarked 4/29.

They did these similar style trailers with Pluribus, and I felt the same way. I guess for every person that might be interested, it equally makes someone less interested. I don't want the story spoiled, but give me something interesting at the very least. There is too much good TV out there to release a trailer like this, IMO.
I say all of that and I have commented a few times on this thread. I guess it worked =/

I was disappointed thinking this sounded a little like "Haven," but now you've got me hoping there's elements of 'Reggie Perrin.'
I bought a 4K Blu-ray player from Panasonic. Much better than this ****** Apple TV; the sound and picture are on a much higher level.
Apple has shared a mysterious teaser for Widow's Bay, a new horror-comedy series set to premiere on the Apple TV streaming service on Wednesday, April 29.
Widow's Bay is described as a "quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England," but apparently "something lurks beneath the surface."
The series stars Matthew Rhys as a mayor who is desperate to revive the struggling community.
"There's no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed," Apple explains.
"Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination," adds Apple. "Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true, start happening again."
Apple says Widow's Bay blends genuine horror with character-driven comedy.
The first three episodes in the 10-episode season are set to premiere on Apple TV on Wednesday, April 29, and one additional episode will come out every Wednesday through June 17. The series is created and executive produced by Katie Dippold, and Hiro Murai directs five episodes this season, according to Apple.
In the U.S., Apple TV is priced at $12.99 per month or $129 per year, with a free one-week trial available for new subscribers. Apple TV is also included in Apple One and Peacock bundles, with all of the options outlined on Apple's website.
You can stream Apple TV in the Apple TV app, which is available on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Android, PlayStation, Xbox, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, select smart TVs, on the web at tv.apple.com, and more.

Same. Loved The Americans! And the ending was one of the best I have ever seen.
The description also states that cell service is spotty, so no hot spot for you! Then again, there’s always Starlink…
I have no problem with 10 episode seasons when it’s a heavily serialized show, but the 2-year+ gap b/w seasons absolutely sucks.
I hate that so many devices wait until after a show finishes its season to renew it, so filming can’t even start until a season has finished airing. And even when a show has been renewed ahead of time, post production seems to take forever now. Case-in-point Star Trek Strange New Worlds has finished filming season 4 over a year ago, and it’s still in post production. Even season 5 has finished filming, but that won’t be seen until probably a year after season 4 - which still doesn’t have a release date.
