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.
