Autumn TV Finales - Shining Vale - Season One

Shining Vale is a super easy watch!

It premiered on Starz/Binge (in Australia - yes it is a Starz original NOT on Stan) on March 6 with a double episode. It hooked me in, hard!

Staring Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Sherilyn Fenn, Mira Sorvino, Merrin Dungey, and Judith Light. This less than 30 minute (per episode) horror/comedy eight episode run is a mighty fine watch.

A dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town after Patricia "Pat" Phelps, a former "wild child" who became famous through writing raunchy female empowerment novels, is caught cheating on her husband. 

The house the family had moved into is a place where in the past, terrible atrocities have taken place. Nobody seems to suspect anything odd except for Pat who's convinced she's either depressed or possessed.

 Pat has been sober for 16 years, but begins to feel very unfulfilled in life – she still hasn't written her second novel, she can't remember the last time she had sex with her husband and her teenage kids have grown up to the point they don't want their mother in their lives. Soon, the demons haunting the family's new home begin to appear much more real.

Unfortunately the series has not yet been renewed, however Starz has a good record of renewing their first season series.

While Power (the Tommy one) has been renewed already (airing at the same time of Shining Vale) I have high hopes for this Courteney Cox lead series.

Speaking of Cox this is a very big departure from her role in Friends. However it's a little like her role of Gail in the Scream film series.

I highly recommend this little gem on Binge. Whilst HBO series are getting all the hype this is one of the best Starz series I have seen in a while.

More Autumn TV Finale posts coming soon. May is a big finale month with both 9-1-1 series wrapping their latest seasons, Big Sky, Station 19, The Equalizer, Young Rock, The Blacklist and more!
