Fast Girls

You don't need another "must-watch drama" list — Fast Girls in the US on Philo and Hoopla, and in the UK on STUDIOCANAL PRESENTS Apple TV Channel and Studiocanal Presents Amazon Channel earns the spot regardless. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 113 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Lenora Crichlow — one of the stronger performances out there right now. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Philo.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Fast Girls earns its spot. Fast Girls takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. A street smart runner develops an intense rivalry with an equally ambitious wealthy young athlete. The performances from Lenora Crichlow and Lily James give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. It hit screens in 2012. What elevates Fast Girls is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Fast Girls is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Lenora Crichlow anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
