Rockstar creative team (pilot written and directed by Tom McCarthy, of Spotlight) lead what is in some ways like a TV sequel to the Oscar-winning film Spotlight, starring Hilary Swank as a hard-charging reporter who is embroiled in scandal and ships off to a small newspaper in Alaska, where she uncovers an epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women. Is it perfect? No. It wobbles out of the gate a little, but by the end of the pilot, this television series shows the promise of its creative team, and feels like a potential successor to great network dramas of old, like The West Wing, ER, The Practice, and so on.
