The Shining has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in the US on Hoopla and Tubi TV. Rebecca De Mornay leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Originally commissioned by ABC, The Shining quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. A new caretaker moves with his family into the mysterious Overlook Hotel for the winter. It aired in 1997.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find The Shining genuinely rewarding — it shares something with Nancy Drew but carves out its own territory entirely. The kind of genre television that makes you think as well as watch.
