Trinkets

Is it a teen show? Yes. Is it a little cliche? Yes. Does it cover a lot of teen issues now a days? Yes. But the acting is good and the main actresses really have great chemistry together. It really has kind of an 80s movie kind of vibe and the music is excellent. All around a really cute show.

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

There is absolutely no measure in which I fit the target demographic for this (too old, too white, too straight), yet I enjoyed every minute of it. That's mostly down to the three leads who reached far beyond the slightly stereotypical characterisation and filled their roles with wit, charm and empathy.

The supporting cast were all excellent, with a special shout out to Chloe Levine for her delightful channelling of a young Amber Benson. That brought the S4 and S5 Buffy chills right back.

What could have been a very slight drama became a really well drawn rite of passage tale, and thoroughly watchable, in the best sense.

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.

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.
