Shining Girls

Welcome to the best thing since "The Outsider." Elisabeth Moss plays Kirby, a woman who is the sole survivor of a serial killer on the loose. The killer, played with very effective creepiness by Jamie Bell, is lurking, stalking, and we get to see him move through time from victim to victim. Kirby, since she was attacked, has memory problems; things change on her, so she scribbles in a notebook to keep it all straight - where she lives; the objects on her desk, etc. She works at a newspaper as a researcher, digging up information for all the journalists. She becomes friends with Dan (Wagner Moura) who works the crime beat and is investigating the homicide of the killer's latest victim.  Dan is a drunk and is looking for redemption in this investigative story. The show has overtones of "Dark City," "Memento," and last year's "Last Night in Soho." This eerie thriller is compelling viewing and it has a dirty-fingernail, dirty-ashtray, straight-whiskey, black-coffee texture that will keep you glued to your set.
