A dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town after Patricia "Pat" Phelps, a former "wild child" who became famous through writing a raunchy female empowerment novel, is caught cheating on her husband. In an attempt to rebuild their family, they move into a house where terrible atrocities have taken place. Nobody seems to suspect anything odd except for Pat, who is convinced she is either depressed or possessed. But soon, the demons haunting the family's new home begin to appear much more real.

"By the end of Cox’s time at Friends, she probably could have played the compulsively tidy Monica in her sleep, so it's a thrill to see her, as the ever-messy Pat, hurtling through nightmares that let her show off more of what she can actually do." Go to Full Review
Johnny Loftus Decider 10/13/2023
Shining Vale has a great cast, a strong lead performance from Courteney Cox, and scares gathering in its corners... Go to Full Review
Whitney Friedlander Paste Magazine 10/02/2023
9.1/10
The plot’s skeleton may not be the most creative, but, by widening the focus from not just Pat but to her kids, it gives the character (and her viewers) a chance to consider the ramifications her actions, and her genetics, have on her kids. Go to Full Review

rsderek81 @rsderek81 Jul 29 Excellent writing! Funny and witty!! Amazing cast!! Season two is even better than the first 🌟 See more Bob S @aremes Jun 20 Probably one of the best series on TV, with terrific performances. Greg Kinnear is priceless, but the whole cast is great. Really sad that it was canceled too soon. See more Catriona M 01/21/2025 Second season cliff hanger was a must see. Praying a 3rd season gets renewed with Max! See more Kelsey W 01/17/2025 Just as wonderful as the first season! I love the acting, love the story line and find the show to be an absolute blast! The twists and turns are so fun and the last episode left me with my jaw on the floor. I NEED a season 3! Hilarious, a mystery vibe, mind bending plus the added scare, I love it. One of my top favorite shows. See more Michael C 01/11/2025 This show is so amazing both seasons and whoever made the decision to cancel it should be fired!!! See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 01/11/2025 Season two of "The Shining Veil" continues to captivate audiences, with Courteney Cox reprising her lead role. This time, the plot intriguingly hints at the possibility of Satan being the father of a forthcoming child, introducing a heavier focus on satanic rituals and cult elements. Although films of this genre typically fail to engage me or evoke any strong feelings, I must admit that this series is exceptional. Instead of delving deeply into Satanism, it explores cult dynamics, showcasing aspects that are often overlooked or rendered cliché in other productions. This series manages to strike the right balance, presenting a fresh perspective. Courteney Cox delivers a stellar performance, and I'm eagerly anticipating a potential third season. The finale of this season will leave you astonished—it features a twist that caught me completely off guard, and I didn't see it coming at all. The entire cast shines, but I have to admit that I find Gaynor's character quite off-putting. She stands out as the one character I genuinely dislike. Her portrayal is so grating that I cringe whenever she appears on screen. The mother-daughter relationship depicted is painfully dysfunctional, and I often wish for her character to simply vanish. I feel no sympathy for her at all; in fact, I find myself wishing for her to meet a rather dramatic end! See more Read all reviews
