SHINING GIRLS
MESSIAH
(BBC/PRIME VIDEO)
The creators of Shining Girls have been totally upfront about the influence of Seven on the look and tone of the series, but it’s no exaggeration to say that the film’s exquisitely wrought visuals have been a pervasive influence on the entire genre of serial-killer thrillers in the last few decades. And there can be no finer example than this stylish, enjoyably twisted BBC series, adapted by brilliantly named writer Boris Starling from his own books. The show follows a detective (Ken Stott), who investigates grandiose cases, starting with a psychopath inspired by the Apostles to kill 12 people.
