· 4 pulled'Widow's Bay' could be the thing that goes bump in the Emmy race.
The Television Academy knows what it likes. It's usually the polished prestige drama, the bittersweet half-hour dramedy and the new miniseries built around a movie star and a timely message.
So, when something strange wanders into the race, the instinct is to ask whether it fits. The better question, with three days of voting left, is whether the Emmys see it that way.
Apple TV's 'Widow's Bay' is this season's 'strange something.'
