It has a lot to say about surviving trauma and gaining agency as Kirby fights for control and to put an end to Harper’s killing spree. But not everything in its story works, and with a high-concept drama such as this one, every misstep dims the show’s potential just a little bit more.

Non-linear storytelling has always been more easily accomplished in novels than in films or series, and Shining Girls unfortunately struggles to get it right. It does mostly stick the landing, but it's a bumpy, occasionally frustrating road before this series is truly able to shine.

It's a slow burn, which I'm fine with, but it definitely has me interested. I have to admit that Elizabeth Moss is particularly dour, and it gives the whole production a sense of doom. I just don't see this ending well. Not a bug, but a feature.
