The second season of Starz's poignant horror-comedy Shining Vale drives home how much it sucks (and has always sucked) to be a woman.
This is usually in regard to situations of harassment and sexual assault, where these stories and experiences are usually relayed after the fact—after all the signs have been ignored and the red flags brushed under the rug.
With everyone in their own orbits, Pat isn’t sure if she’s seeing things when she meets their new neighbor, Ruth: a transplant from the outer boroughs who dresses and sounds like Rhoda Morgenstern but has the face of Romy White. With her panic attacks going largely ignored by an overly optimistic Terry or written off with eye rolls and glares from their kids, Pat finds herself curious enough to engage with Ruth.
It also comes with some brilliant one-liners and comes with a stacked cast of character actresses that, starting this season, include Allison Tolman as a school principal hoping to publish her own novel and Harriet Sansom Harris as an overworked mental health professional. This is especially true of Gaynor. Birney was great last year as a petulant youth who’s acting out on her anger of being forced to move from Brooklyn to a Creepy Old House. This year, we see her deal with some of her own worst fears, and begin to understand her mother’s worst fears for her. Sometimes they include singing melodramatic songs to an empty coffee house.
