‘Shining Girls’
Based on the Lauren Beukes’ novel of the same name, AppleTV+’s Shining Girls is a new thriller series that puts a unique spin on the serial killer genre. Elisabeth Moss stars as Kirby Mazrachi, a Chicago Sun-Times research assistant, who is still traumatized by a brutal attack that left her near death six years ago. After the incident, Kirby experiences unexplainable shifts in time and reality that threaten her very sanity. It’s only when she teams up with journalist/addict Dan Velasquez (Wagner Moura) to investigate the murder of a girl which involves details that match her own assault that Kirby begins to realize the kind of madman they are pursuing. Also starring Phillipa Soo, Chris Chalk, Amy Brenneman and a terrifying Jamie Bell, Shining Girls promises to be compelling and puzzling viewing.
