The series has all the right ingredients for an addictive watch: a solid premise, some compelling actors, and some classic teen show tensions and rhythms in the earnest vein of “Degrassi” braiding it all together.īut as the season plods towards its uneven finale, “Spinning Out” instead does exactly what its title promises instead of sticking the landing. And as is quickly revealed, Kat and Carol also share the same mental illness - bipolar - that they each struggle to handle without upending everything they’ve worked for. Despite their constantly roiling feelings, the three of them are bonded against a world that looks down on them for lacking the money and resources so many others in their elite Idaho ski town do. Her younger daughter Serena (Willow Shields) is a powerful skater who lacks Kat’s artistic touch, a detail that no one will let her forget. Carol ( January Jones) was a promising figure skater in her own right before she had Kat ( Kaya Scodelario), whose own talent blazed too brightly for anyone to ignore. “Spinning Out,” from Samantha Stratton, follows a family of three women, each determined, stubborn, and skilled in her own way.
