The role of “promising reporter turned amateur sleuth tracking a time-traveling serial killer as she herself becomes unstuck in time” sounds far too specific to be in any actor’s wheelhouse, even one as talented as Elisabeth Moss. Yet that is the immediate takeaway from the Apple TV+ limited series “Shining Girls”: That whether through the original novel by Lauren Beukes, showrunner Silka Luisa, or actor/director/executive producer Moss, the character of Kirby Mazrachi is a perfect fit for this particular star.
Maybe, at times, too perfect. As Kirby fights her way through fantastically challenging circumstances and the dismissals of so many people around her, it’s hard not to think of Moss’ exceptional work in the recent “Invisible Man” remake — a story about toxic-male violence that had the advantage of ruthless streamlining. The eight-episode “Shining Girls” has more time to build dread — and more time to trip over its uneven pacing.
