Shining Girls

I am confused by all these bad reviews. It's a tad bit of a slow burn but it's intelligent and original. I'm not a big fan of her either but that's not going to stop me from watching a good thriller that seems to have really good potential!

I don't get the reviews about the show being slow. I find it really creepy and it has an interesting mysterious element added to it. The scenes which portray the victims fear are terrifying. The story unfolds bit by bit and the acting is good. I think it's a pretty solid show in its genre.

This mystery series follows Kirby (Elizabeth Moss, MAD MEN, THE HANDMAID'S TALE) , a survivor of a violent crime, whose life constantly changes around her in odd ways, as she helps the police track down her attacker before he strikes again.

After reading some reviews, I decided to write one of my own, because I feel like this show is being largely misunderstood. The show is slow to reveal new information, because they set the viewer up with a lot right from the get-go. We already know who the attacker is, he's a mysterious serial killer played by Jamie Bell (ROCKETMAN, SNOWPIERCER). What we do not know is how he's doing it, or what exactly he's doing. There appears to be some time-travel element to his killings, and his victims experience some sci-fi after effects.

I am thoroughly enjoying this show so far. Yes, it is slow burn. But it isn't boring, far from it. It feels like a crime-thriller told in reverse, with the attacker known, but the attacks a mystery. It isn't following the typical formula for crime thrillers, but it's trying something original. Very intriguing so far, don't miss out.

All the dots are connecting and I'm hooked now. I too after the first couple episodes was left frustrated but now Adter watching episodes 3 & 4 I've had so many Ah ha! Moments that I'm absolutely sucked in now. Don't give up I promise if your into forensics and the supernatural you won't be disappointed.

I felt compelled to write a review seeing all the bad reviews here which don't seem to have much weight & seem agenda driven. I just finished the first 3 episodes and I'm quite intrigued.

Yes it's a slow burn & slightly confusing as of now but it isn't boring at all. I find the whole idea of revealing the murderer first and then unraveling the logistics behind why and how he did it quite refreshing. I am very excited to see how they tie everything together. Plus this time travel/science fiction element is fascinating too.

Do give it a chance! By listening to the negative reviews you are missing out on a good show.
