Overview
- Apple released the first two episodes on Wednesday, April 29, and set a weekly rollout through June, after previously signaling a three‑episode premiere.
- Most outlets list a 10‑episode season with dates extending into June, though Radio Times reports only six episodes, creating confusion for viewers and listings.
- Early reception is highly positive, with several reviews praising the show’s blend of real scares and character comedy and some citing a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The series follows a skeptical mayor on a New England island said to be cursed, and it comes from creator Katie Dippold with multiple episodes directed by Hiro Murai.
- Critics highlight Matthew Rhys’s performance and the show’s eerie, cozy tone, noting that reviewers saw more episodes in advance than are available now, which may widen the gap between coverage and what fans can stream each week.
