Trinkets

Trinkets at least shines a light on addiction from a teenage perspective. It's a compulsion. A coping mechanism formed by different walks of people for all very different reasons. I applaud Netflix for creating a less glamorous + dramatic story of teen trauma (euphoria, 13 reasons why, etc) that is digestible and enjoyable to watch.

Once in a while Netflix has these little gems that you have to go looking for, like a scavenger hunt if you will, I wholeheartedly recommend you dig up this treasure.

Trinkets is based on a Young Adult Novel of the same name, and it stars Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool), Kiana Madeira (The Flash), and Quintessa Swindell as three teenagers sent to shoplifters anonymous for some petty crimes, and tho they come from different backgrounds they seem to be great partners in crime.

It's not the greatest series of our generation, but it's a short series that has comedy, drama, a well written story and great performances from the entire cast.

I stumbled upon it after I stopped watching a series on Netflix that sort of depressed me, this was a good medicine.

Because the young cast is so talented and the story is very well written I give this an 8 out of 10.

It is not a must watch, it is a should watch.

Teen drama with some romance, family issues and minor crime. Quite fun and totally watchable.

This is one of those shows that could have been more.

The premise of three young women united by their involvement in shoplifting was very good. The show revolves around the lives of these three characters, in a normal teen drama style exposition. The characters are likeable, and the performances were reasonable, but the story ebbs and flows in the personal relationships, without much strong plot points to make a real impact. Its watchable, but it could have been unique, focussing more on their criminal skills, and less on their personal dramas. Deserving of a second season, to see where it goes. But the second season will make or break this show.

I personally really enjoyed this show, but (and these are just small things) I will say that I wish it was longer episodes and less music.
