Episode 1: Pilot

Summary

A teenage girl and a disgraced journalist find themselves drawn into a web of secrets revolving around 1940s Los Angeles' most infamous cold case. Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a naïve young girl growing up near Reno, Nevada, embarks on a desperate quest to discover who she is. In Los Angeles, Jay Singletary (Chris Pine), a former Marine turned hack reporter covers a gruesome murder

Review

In mid-60s Nevada, teenager Pat Greenaway (India Eisley) is a bit of an outsider. A mixed-race child adopted by black parents, she has little information about her origins. But when she does find out who she is – including that her real name is Fauna Hodel – it’s not long before she’s off to LA to meet her gynaecologist grandfather George. There are heavy hints that this might not be a good idea. Over in LA, down-at-heel journalist Jay Singletary (Chris Pine) also has reason not to trust George.

Inspired by a true story about the notorious 1940s Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles, this is a stylish affair from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, and Pine is electric as the troubled Jay.
