Just finished 'Widow's Bay.'
10/10. Funny/scary in equal measures, and grounded enough that you actually care about the people.
Classics. Legion is the best Marvel show ever. When Aubrey Plaza playing a dancing demon psychiatrist isn't the best thing on the show, attention must be paid.

Black Sails. Pirates. Sex. Violence. Intrigue. Betrayals. Big battles.
You get the picture.
I finished Widow's Bay yesterday, great show! Totally agree that it feels grounded enough to care. Story was well written and had some great laughs. Totally recommend!
I recently read a discussion about the difference between 'grounded' and 'realistic' because the two are often used interchangeably.
"Realistic" is true to life. You can't stop a tank with a pistol. Horses can't jump across the Grand Canyon.
'Grounded' means that the characters and actions are so well presented that they feel honest, even when they are completely fantastic.
