Shining Girls, the new thriller starring and executive produced by Emmy award-winner Elisabeth Moss, makes its global debut with the first three episodes today on Apple TV+.

And, recently renewed for a second season, the broadly acclaimed drama Pachinko, airs its season one finale episode today. Since its debut on Apple TV+, the global hit series has been hailed as “one of the best things on TV”, “TV’s newest masterpiec­e”, and “one of the best adaptation­s of all time”.

Shining Girls – It follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss) as a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalist­ic ambitions were put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault.

When Mazrachi learns that a recent murder mirrors her own case, she partners with seasoned, yet troubled, reporter Dan Velazquez (played by Wagner Moura), to uncover her attacker’s identity.

As they realise these cold cases are inextricab­ly linked, their own personal traumas and Mazrachi’s blurred reality allow her assailant to remain one step ahead. In addition to Moss and Moura, the gripping drama stars Phillipa Soo, with Amy Brenneman and Jamie Bell rounding out the ensemble cast.

The first three episodes of “Shining Girls” premiered on 29 April, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday.

Make or Break – This is a new seven-part documentar­y series that delivers behind-the-scenes access to the world’s best surfers as they battle for the World Title at the World Surf League (WSL) Championsh­ip Tour.

It offers an intimate deep dive into the aspiration­s, challenges, accomplish­ments, and personal lives of the surfers who compete to remain on the elite 2021 Men’s and Women’s WSL Championsh­ip Tour, and takes viewers on a journey to stunning surfing locations across the globe.
