"The problem is that Trinkets can’t seem to stay focused on the particular psychologies or practicalities of a group of teen shoplifters, nor does it maintain a consistent sense of what stories matter, how much they matter, or how strongly anyone feels about anything at any given time," says Kathryn VanArendonk on the show about a group of teens who form a friendship from a Shoplifters Anonymous meeting.
