    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.

    Even after going in blind and getting frustrated near the third episode by a confusing story, the series reeled me back in when the supernatural aspect is revealed in full. For those who enjoy a more experimental approach to storytelling, unburdened by the confines of one specific genre, Shining Girls is an exciting entry for Apple TV+.

    Shining Girls takes its time to reveal the entire picture of what its story is about. But with a fine lead performance by Moss and expert direction, it’s still got enough tension to make us OK with getting only little bits of info.

    “Shining Girls” is undeniably kooky, but the characters, situations and the city itself are so vividly brought to life that you’ll be dying to figure out what happens next. Just watch it with the lights on.
