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.
