Is anyone watching Widows Bay? (Apple TV)
Can't get enough of this show right now and curious what people think so far. Feels as if Stephen King wrote Parks and Rec.

DougM Link ParentI feel as if I'm going crazy by thinking F1 was disappointing.

While playing it I couldn't help but wish I was playing Squad or Hell Let Loose instead.
