Summary

Jason and Rosie have crossed the invisible border into the first seven episodes of Widow's Bay, exploring its unique blend of horror, comedy, and the supernatural. Luckily, they weren't born on the island, so they've returned to the mainland to answer the most pressing questions. Is Patricia the best character on television? Is horror-comedy even a real genre? Is it brave to check the crawl space in the haunted hotel, or just stupid? Is a mystery box with an answer better than an infinite mystery?
