Was pleasantly surprised to come across this on Netflix. The show has solid pacing and dialog, which keeps the story moving forward without ever feeling rushed or dull. I was able to watch the entire season in just a couple sittings. All the actors were really well cast, though the character of Tryst seemed to be the most engaging for me. Even though the show is labeled as a comedy, I feel it goes a bit above just the laughs by really exploring all the characters interpersonal relationships. The serious moments give us a reason to care and a reason to root for people. Really hoping for a second season.

Not a single line of wasted dialogue. It all either makes you laugh, manhandles your feels, or leaves you staring at the screen with a surprised Pikachu face. I was completely thrown by the ramping up in episode five from frothy, witty YA crime caper to Breaking Bad. Tryst is Jesse Pinkman meets the Artful Dodger? Or do I sound like Sally making bad theater references here? (You will either love Sally or break out into hives, and whatever ends up happening, you're SUPPOSED to feel that way.) I love lusty Sophie and Clem the not nice guy. These are fleshed out side characters with their own motivations and lives off screen, hopefully positioned to spring into action with more screen time in season 2. Also, shout out to the costume department? The clothing was ridiculous and wonderful. The consensus is everyone is surprised at how good this is, so spread the word and lets make sure there's a second season.

Zoe Christensen (Emilija Baranac) is a Vancouver bookworm high school student. She has made an university ID to study in the library. Her hard-partying best friend Rebecca Li (Jennifer Tong) needs a new fake ID. They join drug dealer Tryst (Richard Harmon) to start a fake ID business.

This is a CBC show that got picked up by Netflix. It has a couple of interesting moves like the multiple point-of-views and unreliable narrators. The opening probably shows too much. It depraves the show of some of its tension. The subject matter reminds me a little of Good Girls. As for the girls, they are pretty good despite being thirty playing teenagers. The first season ends with a promise of more although more is unlikely.

First of all, i have to say it is one of the 3 best shows on Netflix for me. As it was based on true cases, although the story is fictional, the showrunners let us to face to a few problems of teenagers. Personally, i love the way they did that, finding a good balance between humour, violence and emotional (sometimes sentimental) moments. I enjoyed watching the story through the eyes of the main characters, they represented well how big difference there's between the point of view of each person, and how easy to misjudge people at first sight.

Furthermore, i have to highlight the marvelous job of the actors. All were unusually good at portraying their characters. They made me believe that i see real people on the screen: nice, innocent, a bit silly and annoying, but definitely real characters struggling with their own everyday life.

Good funny crime thriller series for teenage,but this is not for whose like to watch serious crime thriller movies or series, if you to chill with series this will be a good entertainer for you, story and teenage drama wise is good, but don't expect extreme violence or action. One more positive point is running which is 20min/ep,it will not waste your time, I pretty enjoy it, and you will connect to the characters and acting is also pretty nice . You will also see 4th wall break the characters speak will see you which is nice,this is not for family, and believie me teenagers you will love it. This is my review.
