This show is pretty good, it has some flaws but i am so glad to finally see a main character who is lgbtq and where the whole story isn't just about coming out and about life sucking for gay people. As a gay person I love to see characters that can just be gay without it being a big deal and without homophobia.

Don't let the few bad reviews discourage you, but if you don't like teen shows this ain't It for you

This show was pretty decent. It definitely captured my attention, considering I watched the whole season in one day. Sure the characters are little cliche at first and youll believe this is the same old thing you've seen before. But there's so much to the characters than meets the eye. Give It a chance.
**** here start my spoilers ****
The only things that bothered me about this series is: 1. The whole stealing the car thing was a bit ridiculous but I understand that it was supposed to be this big break-free/breakthrough moment for tabitha but whatever. 2. Why the heck would Elodie's dad ground her for wasting time to get to the deposition for her mom???? That made no sense to me. I know he wanted her to be more responsible but jeeeez. You're gonna ground her for not wanting to go relieve the most traumatic day of her life?? Also why was she not in counseling!??? 3. How old are these people getting romantically involved with 16/17 year olds??? I get that there are age gap relationships but all of you 21+ year olds are just out here attracted to minors? Come on now. They not legal and statutory is thing y'all. But I digress lol. Give the show a chance and you might enjoy It but idk your show tastes dude.

Starts strong, but unfullfilled potential

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.

Surprise treat

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.

A Surprisingly Good Show
HeshamMashhour16 June 2019
Netflix has been in the habit of making some questionable shows lately (see What/If). This show, however, really isn't a bad watch.
The screenwriting and acting is good. It feels very "believable. It's probably the first show I've seen in a long time that is about teens and has characters that feel and act like typical teenagers. There's no doubt that it's well written and the three main characters in the show have good chemistry together.
I also really enjoyed the 30 minute/episode format and felt that it worked well.
My biggest problem really was that I felt the show was too abstract and there really wasn't much going on. Moreover, the premise of the show (shoplifting, it's how the three girls meet, connect and become friends) doesn't really add much to the plot lines. They could've really met anywhere and under any circumstances and so the decision to use shoplifting seems a tiny bit random.
All in all it's a good show however and definitely a step in the right direction for Netflix.

pretty cliché
punchmaddy17 June 2019
I mean the whole show and characters were quite predictable, and there was no sign of any consequences for the girls actions (the girls kept 'lifting') but I was an ok show and I enjoyed it. Not Netflix's best, but definitely not their worst!
Genuine Teen Story
krw1268 September 2019
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.

This show is unbelievable! The stealing and drugs are one thing, but the female character that turns 17 in one ep has the hots for an older guy that told her he doesn't do high school games and wasn't going to bother messing with her only to turn around and go all the way with her. He's at least 21 because he is a bartender so the show condones sex with a minor. That's when I stopped watching. BAD BAD INFLUENCE!

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.
Elodi the forever victim
michele-4163817 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The show is fine. I feel like the storyline is a little weak.
But one thing I hate about the show is Elodie, Dont get me wrong I love that the LGBTQ community is represented. But I hate how stuck up, ungrateful and childish she acts to her dad, brother and stepmom. She's always mad at them and acts like a victim all the time even when she's the one in the wrong. This made me want not to watch the show. I just hated her character.
Like At the end of season one when she ran away because She got grounded for stealing a car. And then gets mad when she gets back and her dad and stepmom tries to help her and keep her under control for a while, proving yet again that Elodi is the victim.
I just don't get her and that kinda ruined the show for me.

This show isn't terrible it just feels like I've seen it before... dozens of times. Everyone in the show is beautiful even the lonely unpopular girl has model looks. It's old and tired...sad girl, rich girl, moody girl and they all have "issues".
I mean the very first episode has the quiet girl go to a giant party where she of course is "out of place". Then rich girl cliché comes in with her apparent abusive relationship. I get who this is targeted to but I feel like every Netflix show involving teens could exist into one show and you wouldn't know the difference.
I mean what's the point of yet another show involving teens with nothing new to say? Netflix quality in its originals has dropped a ton. It's like they put our tons of projects hoping one will be the next stranger things.

Trinkets, going into this show I had no expectations. But Netflix usually puts out show that will glue your eyes to your TV for a week straight. This show is good, not great, not bad, not average, just good. They're some really high points in this show but they're also parts of this show that make your stomach hurt. The theme in this show is shoplifting, and not one time in this show does anyone get caught shoplifting. Also the dating relationships in this show are very weird and are over the place, people cheating on each other than getting right back together, parents cheating on each other and a few other awkward relationships. But what makes this show is the 3 girls dynamic relationship. I loved every scene they all 3 were in. They had great chemistry and the 3 actresses were pretty good. When you got away from these 3 girls the acting got very average. But these girls made this show and I loved watching their relationship bud from basically nothing. I do hope they make a season 2 and it looks like that is in the plan with how season 1 ended. I would suggest trying this show for sure!
Really good watch.

It is not min blowing, for instance'Handmaids tale' level, but it's super fun,fast,flowing,romantic,funny.... And entertaining. Literally saw whole season in one sit.
I really enjoyed it. Characters are really fun. Please give it a try, after 3 episodes you'll fall in love just like me. Looking forward to see S2.
Addictive!!

Great cast except......
nkjexqsm8 September 2021
TRINKETS is a great show with universal appeal. The characters are well portrayed by the actors except for Brianna Caitlin Hildebrand who plays Elodie who is the central character. I've had omelettes that had a better character draw. Seriously though she should not be cast in anything else other than the Deadpool side kick.
Good show otherwise though.

Decent teen show, but don't like the message.

Warning: Spoilers
Definitely a teen show, but not the worst out there. I personally found the acting a little obvious at times, but it seemed to improve as it went on.
My main problem: the show completely glorifies shoplifting. If people debated whether 13 Reasons Why glorified suicide, there's no doubt that this show glorifies stealing. There's no sense of real risk, consequences or guilt/regret. So many scenes of the girls very obviously pocketing items in front of security cameras, yet they always get away with it.
Edit: Major spoiler How could I forget the ending. Grounded? Run away from home. Sure, potentially it's a good idea to run away if you're in an abusive or violent household. But Elodie is literally grounded for stealing a car, an sensible and appropriate punishment, so successfully runs away with some wild rockstar type. I think it's a dangerous message. How many emotional teenagers will watch this and be encouraged to run away from home because of something trivial that feels like a big deal at the time?
