As a big fan of both, it’s been amazing to see how quickly Severance and Widow’s Bay became hits.

Now, after season two, it still holds a fantastic overall score of 95%. And Widow’s Bay? It practically exploded onto the scene in April 2026, starting with a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes! It’s dipped a little since then, but at 95%, it’s still seriously impressive.
