In "Shining Girls," Moss stars as Kirby, a newspaper archivist working at the Chicago Sun-Times in the early '90s. A brutal attack from her past has Kirby living in a constantly shifting reality, unable to keep the facts of her day-to-day life straight. After hearing of a murder with details eerily similar to Kirby's own attack, she teams with a colleague to track down the killer -- and pin down her own past.
Wagner Moura, Jamie Bell, Phillipa Soo and Amy Brenneman star alongside Moss in this bone-chilling new thriller series, premiering April 29 on Apple TV+. Keep reading to find out more about how to watch "Shining Girls."

Roku Streaming Stick+
The Roku Streaming Stick+ has a long-range wireless receiver and allows Bluetooth streaming. It also includes all the features of the Roku Express 4K+ in a smaller, easier-to-conceal device. Instead of connecting to a television via wires, it connects directly to an HDMI port. Note that the Roku Streaming Stick+ still needs to be connected to a power source -- either via a TV USB input or a wall outlet.
"It doesn't have the same bells and whistles that my Roku Ultras have...but then again, I also paid nearly twice as much for those," reviewer K. Krueger says. "This Stick+ is much cheaper and provides basically the same user interface and playback performance."
