In the midst of winter, Netflix’s The Trust brings sunny, hopeful colors and picturesque blue waters to life. The contestants take center stage and are promised a $250,000 cash prize from the start. The question is: will they band together and share the money, or will they turn against each other to claim it all?
As time progresses, the game becomes more about worthiness and less about greed. If everyone can win, who should win?
Enter the jarring music and sounds a la White Lotus.
The Trust introduces us to a cast with scripts seemingly optimized by an AI that’s studied our current American lexicon:
- Brian: A rancher in a Stetson hat who thinks money is poison yet feels as if he deserves to be on this show.
- Juelz: The cop who introduces himself as a stripper because of the negative connotations of his occupation.
- Jake: An ex-military with tattoos of an attack helicopter and a tattered American flag on his chiseled arm.
- Julie: An Austin girlie with a scarcity mind-set after being raised in a trailer home by an unstable parental unit.
- Tolú: Gutsy and honest, she is here for her family and believes that all trust has to be earned.
- Winnie: A quiet yet astute observer who rocks the Texas tuxedo better than Brian with her candy-red heels.
- Jay (or Mama Jay): A retired 70-year-old woman here for the vibes, the birds, and the whales.
- Bryce: A third-generation realtor who insists that he will never vote anyone out of the Trust.
- Simone: An unemployed divorcée whom the male contestants call an angel purely for getting along with them.
- Lindsey: An ex-Mormon who already has a morning ritual of talking to herself in the backyard.
- Gaspare: A teacher from New Jersey with a self-deprecating sense of humor and a heart of gold.
We meet them all at Cliff’s Edge, where host Brooke Baldwin (of CNN Newsroom fame) shares that they are all winners but that it’s up to them to decide whether they want to make it to the end together. There will be voting ceremonies for contestants to decide whether they want to cut a person out of the Trust. It can take just one person to name a name for that contestant to be out of the Trust. The contestants seem innocent and confused, except our sharp Winnie, who suggests that she is prepared to eliminate people.
And so the game begins. Brooke asks if any of them would like to vote anyone out at this time, but no one steps forward.
After what is one of the slowest starts in recent paradisiacal-game-show history,
