Starring Kaya Scodelario (whom you might know better as Effy Stonem from Skins) and January Jones, this drama revolves around a competitive ice skater who — after making a devastating fall during a competition — attempts to make a comeback by teaming up with a new partner. Accurately portraying mental illness without relying on tropes is difficult, but Spinning Out succeeds in depicting Kat's bipolar disorder in a way that is sensitive and nuanced, making her an "unlikeable" female protagonist to root for.
