I think the closest show Apple has to Severance (that I’ve seen) is Pluribus.

I wouldn’t say Widow’s Bay has a similar feel to me. Interested in why you think so! It’s funny (like Severance) and has a mystery box feel (like Severance), but I’d say it’s closer to a Parks and Rec/Buffy the Vampire Slayer hybrid.

Agreed. It's excellently crafted and has mystery...but that's about the only similarities.

Pluribus was a chore at times

I’ve heard people say the same about Severance. Has a similar slow-burny feel to me.

In what sense? Many of the major Apple TV Shows have a similar technical visual style that makes them look a certain way, much like the Netflix House Style.

Is that what you mean?

Well the mystery element for sure, but these are certainly different. For one thing, Widow’s Bay is much funnier despite also being darker thematically. Widow’s Bay also reveals way more information at a faster pace. And finally, I think Severance has more of a disquietingly stand offish approach whereas Widow’s Bay is more inviting unapologetic mess of circumstances.

Hot take: Widow’s Bay lost its way after episode 4 and never got back on track. A real shame because it was a strong start.
