Fakes (prod. David Turko).

Starring local actors Emilija Baranac and Jennifer Tong and explicitly set in the suburbs of West Vancouver, the CBC/Netflix co-production is a real treat to watch. Revolving around the premise of a pair of high school best friends starting a fake ID empire on a whim, episodes find them getting deeper and deeper into trouble in mostly comical fashion.

What’s most remarkable about the generally lighthearted fun had is the sense of actual stakes when the mid-level but still serious criminal elements start to build. Furthermore, both lead characters have key family and personal details that flesh out their ill-advised motivations and taste for danger. Fakes remains surprisingly sophisticated while maintaining a breezy sense of situational comedy.
