Trickster (I) (2020)
3/10
Typical Canadian show, marginal acting, low budget and almost interesting
1 November 2020
Some ok parts and it's possible to overlook all the misgivings in order to get to them. The usual B.C. film with beer, drugs and parties interspersed with dialogue that barely moves the story along. The lead teen actor is decent enough and hopefully this gets him a decent stepping stone to something better. However by having the teen lead take up so much screen time the target audience becomes 13-19 and severely limits any chance of increasing the popularity of the show.

I made it 2 episodes, it seems like the final 3 minutes is where to strange stuff happens which is cringey. Out of the numerous possibilities of having a mystery/thriller/drama set in a native north Canadian setting this is really weak. Remove the beer, drugs and parties and the scenes and dialogue are 10 lines/60 minutes.
