Forget 'Widow's Bay,' Hulu’s New Mystery Series Is a Streaming Hit

In the Apple TV smash-hit mystery thriller Widow’s Bay, a mayor is caught in mysterious happenings in his quaint Island town, where the intoxicating allure of the unknown keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Matthew Rhys plays Mayor Tom Loftis, who is not well regarded by his people, and some would consider him a coward. The show’s ultimate strength lies in its central mystery about the island, which fuels an entire season of a peculiar narrative that has earned praise from critics and viewers. Widow’s Bay has broken records for Apple TV, becoming the year’s most popular show. But a few weeks ago, Hulu also released a new genre-bending thriller that has taken the streamer by storm.
