Barracuda Queens (Netflix) Review :-
Middle-class folks like you and me can hardly fathom the sheer audacity it takes to pull off even half the things these girls do in Barracuda Queens. In its second season, the stakes are higher and the escapades wilder—plunging the girls into art heists, tangled romances, and moral freefall, all in the name of preserving their lavish lifestyles without a shred of ethical restraint.
I’m still unsure how we’re meant to feel about these girls. Are we supposed to find them cool and aspirational? Because at times, that’s exactly how Barracuda Queens presents them. But I find it hard to glamorize a group of burglars. The show leans heavily into their stylish rebellion, showing the thrills from their point of view, while conveniently skipping over the damage they leave behind—the stolen possessions, the violated trust, the disregard for other people’s hard-earned lives.
Season 2 ramps up the madness, with these five young women somehow pulling off elaborate heists and going toe-to-toe with seasoned criminals. There’s a distinct “main character energy” that shields them from real consequences, making it difficult to care about anyone. The characters are all morally compromised, yet the show constantly reassures us that the worst they’ll face is a bit of heartbreak—not justice.
Take, for instance, the scene where Lollo is abducted by armed, seasoned criminals. The tension barely has time to build before she’s miraculously rescued—swept into the arms of her friends as the police arrive almost instantly. It’s as if the show is determined to shield these five privileged young women from any real danger or consequence, refusing to let them face anything harsher than a fleeting scare.
There’s a jarring level of unbelievability in Barracuda Queens that reeks of tone-deaf storytelling. At times, you’re not sure whether to be shocked, confused, or just plain annoyed. Watching these girls casually buy and sell expensive artworks like it’s nothing is downright absurd. Sure, the early 2000s setting adds a nostalgic flair, but that’s no excuse to abandon all sense of realism.
Barracuda Queens (Netflix) Trailor :-
That’s not to say Barracuda Queens Season 2 isn’t entertaining. If you’re willing to ignore the ridiculous ease with which these girls slip past consequences and embrace the sheer absurdity of it all, the show delivers a fast-paced, drama-filled ride. It’s flashy, it’s messy, and if you’re not looking too closely, it’s the kind of escapist fun that can distract you from real-life problems for a few hours. Just switch off your brain—and binge.
Final Thought
Barracuda Queens Season 2 is undeniably silly and shallow, but it’s also surprisingly entertaining—especially if you’re not asking too much of it. At best, it’s mediocre, and it works perfectly as background noise. There’s nothing particularly memorable about it, but if it gives your overthinking brain a break for three hours, that’s still a win.
