‘Spinning Out’
Trashy in the most hallowed way, Spinning Out is a balls-to-the-wall, old school soap opera about the dark side of ice skating. From its opening moments, Spinning Out is plumbing the physical and mental trauma of its characters for drama. Kat Baker (Kaya Scodelario) used to be champion figure skater in the making before she was brought down by a critical injury and inherited bipolar disorder. Kat gets a second chance at the big time when a wealthy family recruits her to be their ne’er-do-well son’s pairs partner. However, he and Kat used to be romantically involved — and that’s not the end of Kat’s problems. Spinning Out is ferociously fun and not for the faint of heart.
