Shining Vale

2022–2023 · 2 seasons

A wry, unsettling blend of domestic dysfunction and ghostly dread, where laughs and chills sit uncomfortably close.

Tagline: Don’t get hysterical.
Overview: A dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.
How it feels: Dark, satirical, eerie and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, addiction, family, isolation
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
