Shining Girls
Type: series
Year: 2022
Genres: Drama · Mystery · Crime
Wokeness Rating: 2/5
Feminism Rating: 3/5
ChickFlick Rating: 1/5
Commentary: The show incorporates some modern progressive themes, particularly in framing gender-based issues and trauma, but does so with a mixture of tones and motives that prevent an obviously strong wokeness. Feminism is fairly present as it explores the struggles of its female lead against a backdrop of male violence, lending to a narrative that leans towards elevating female experiences. However, the focus remains predominantly on a thriller and mystery plot rather than emotional relationships, resulting in a low chickflick score.
