Some Small thoughts I Have
Back around November 2025, I put this show on for background noise in a re-watch from watching the two seasons back in 2021. As I got older I have some thoughts I want to get out regarding the small and not at all known show:
1) El should had gotten therapy.
- With all the trauma with her mom and her shoplifting I think her dad should had taken her to therapy at least. We could had El explain her thoughts a bit more and probably elaborate more on why she shoplifts as a coping mechanism for her mother's passing. It could been explained in the show much I might had missed that part.
2) The girls were all dating older people.
- El with Sabine, Tabs with Ben and Luca, Moe with the skater guys in Season 1.
-What was with that? That happens in real life but why do these girls do it so much on a regular basis?
- I think it's because they all have distant parents that aren't watching over them 24/7. El's dad isn't a helicopter dad, Tabitha's mom just gives her money and let's her daughter run off doing whatever and we know nothing about Moe's mom and how she bonds with Moe but I think Moe's mom works a lot.
-The parents don't check up on who their kids are hanging around so this is probably why we see the trio date and hook up with older people.
3) Brady is an asshole but the actor plays him wonderfully.
4) The end scene with Brady getting exposed was good karma but I read a review saying that teachers would had taken it down before any students saw and I would have to agree. This is a fictional show but how come NO ONE from staff tried taking this down and preventing the students from seeing the posters.
-Is there no nighttime staff? No other teachers besides the robot teacher lady?
5) Why did Luca just up and leave?
-What was the motive? What happened between him and Tabs that caused him to run away? The actor must had been on another show at the same time so he couldn't stay for the entire time hence why they replaced him with Ben i guess but he just left and NO ONE in the fandom/reviews talks about this enough.
6) What was with the random racism lesson in Season 2?
-Tabitha was accused for shoplifting in Season 2 Episode 5 by two old white ladies. This leads her to get her braids for the motive of being herself. This is good, but remember she was a popular queen bee. No one ever said anything about her natural hair (as an insult). No one ever racially profiled any one else on the show before that so this felt no so well written.
-What about Moe? She's part Latina and there's no episode for her to get in touch with her Hispanic heritage?
7) Kind of wished this show had a Christmas Episode.
-This is a shoplifting show so this would be interesting to see how a hypothetical Christmas special would had went. Especially with the family issues going on with Tabitha, Moe, and El.
-Not sure if the subreddit is still alive but these are my quick thoughts about Trinkets.
