SHINING GIRLS
Every time I see/read a synopsis of a mind-bending psychological thriller, I immediately mark my calendar for the series premiere. That’s exactly what happened with Apple’s new limited series SHINING GIRLS (trailer here) starring Elizabeth Moss (THE HANDMAID’S TALE) and Wagner Moura (yep, the guy from NARCOS). The story follows the life of a murder-attempt survivor Kirby Mazrachi, who is trying to move on with her life while experiencing unexplainable reality shifts on a constant basis. Later she discovers that she wasn’t randomly attacked, but actually the victim of a serial killer—which sets her on an investigative journey along with journalist Dan Velazquez (Moura) to uncover the horrific events and find an explanation to these paranormal events. Six episodes are out so far, and I’m perched on the edge of my seat, expecting many big plot reveals very soon. If you’re looking for a serial killer hunting drama mixed with time-traveling twists, then SHINING GIRLS is well worth your time.
