Wilson Chapman editor“Shining Vale” takes its time before it properly introduces the audience to Mira Sorvino’s Rosemary. The Starz horror comedy focuses on Pat (Courteney Cox) and Terry (Greg Kinnear) Phelps, a couple in a strained marriage, as they move from New York City to the titular Connecticut suburb in an effort to find stability.

In the first episode, Sorvino has only a single line. It takes a full three episodes before she has a proper, full-length scene with Cox, and even then, her presence in the show is deployed sparingly, rarely appearing for extended periods of time.
