Spanish-Language dramas have been especially popular on Netflix and with 56 episodes available, we suspect there will be many subscribers sinking their teeth into Her Mother’s Killer.

Trinkets N

Seasons: 2 | Episodes: 20
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Drama | Runtime: 30 Minutes
Cast: Brianna Hildebrand, Kiana Madeira, Quintessa Swindell, Odiseas Georgiadis, Brandon Butler

Trinkets earned itself a very loyal fan following when the series first in the Summer of 2019. Fans were disappointed to learn that the second season would be the series last, but while Trinkets may be coming to an abrupt end, it isn’t so much a cancelation, and more allowing the story to conclude.

After being caught shoplifting Elodie is sent to Shoplifters Anonymous to help curb her obsession with stealing. When Elodie meets two other girls at her support group, a strong bond forms between the trio, united over their love of shoplifting. As the trio challenge each other to see who can steal the most, Elodie allows her obsession to deepen further, risking her future for a few trinkets.
