Shining Girls (2022)
7/10
Better than the book, Worth Watching
3 June 2022
So first of all, I've seen the whole thing. I do reviews after I watch the whole show. It's novel. People should try it.

I think I was one of the few that wasn't all that impressed with the commercial thriller book this is adapted from. I think this reframes the plot, keeping what works and discarding the rest. Making the supernatural aspect way better.

The only real problem I have with it is the same as with many shows being made today: pacing. Shows want these things to be long affairs and always fail at justifying it. It is sinfully slow in the middle. I really liked the finale, however. So much so this pulled way up from barely worth watching. Had it been half as many episodes it would have easily been incredible.
