Ruth Wilson’s Striking Performance in ‘The Woman in the Wall’ Doesn’t Make Up for the Gothic’s Dense Narrative: TV Review
Ruth Wilson is striking in Showtime's "The Woman in the Wall," though the series isn't quite as thrilling as expected.
Created by Joe Murtagh, a BAFTA Award nominee for the 2019 film “Calm With Horses,” Showtime ‘s “ The Woman in the Wall ” opens in the dreary fictional town of Kilkinure, Ireland, in 2015. Run by the Catholic Church from the 18th century until the late 1990s, these institutions were initially for sex workers and later for “immoral women.” These women were used for their free labor to do horrific and break-backing laundry work. Like Wilson, McCormack is commanding and effective as a big city detective frustrated by the slow pace and lackadaisical nature of Kilkinure and its lead police officer, Sgt, Aidan Massey (Simon Delaney).
