I wanted to restart from episode one right after the jaw-dropping finale came to an end. Matthew Rhys in Widow’s Bay, now streaming on Apple TV. The premise We enter Widow’s Bay through Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), a widower who’s determined to turn this lonely island into the next tourist attraction, and also build a better future for his teenage son (Kingston Rumi Southwick).
