The friendship chemistry between Condor and Colletti will have you scrambling to the phone to catch up with your long-lost high school bestie. Boo, Bitch is a campy limited series with a little bit of everything that's absolutely worth a watch.
-
Boo, Bitch is a show whose main characters do more than enough to carry a show that has mostly generic secondary characters in an overdone genre. Without Condor and Colletti playing the main roles, the show would have been very forgettable.
-
You can almost feel the show trying too hard to be of-the-moment trendy. Often it can feel like when your parents use a slang term that’s passé.
-
Boo, Bitch is much too slight for its own good. Which is a shame because its central premise (and celebration of female friendship) is a welcome riff on the ghost story genre.
-
The show perhaps needed one more episode to keep its main character consistent enough to make more sense, same with Colletti’s Gia. Either way, there’s something missing from “Boo, Bitch” that keeps it from being quite as effective as it could be, despite its game stars’ best efforts to fill in the gaps.
-
Condor’s delicious scenery-chewing ensures that the series is at its most entertaining when it’s pushing Erika to deeper and deeper lows, encouraging us to root for her spectacular comeuppance. ... There is, it turns out, something sincere and relatable buried in all of Boo, Bitch‘s flippant exaggerations. If only it didn’t take so much work to dig it up.
-
It’s all a little extra — haphazard and heavy on cliched teenage story lines that race forward with plot holes big enough to fit a coffin. ... Together, the pair [Zoe Colletti and Lana Condor] radiate enough chemistry and enthusiasm to imbue “Boo, Bitch” with an undercurrent of intrigue and amusement.
-
It’s a disappointing, scrambled finish that left a sour taste in my mouth. Supernatural teen shenanigans can be fun, but not when it loses the heart.
-
“Boo, Bitch” is a montage of early 2000s teen film nostalgia, half baked Gen-Z pandering, and YA book-to-movie stylization.
-
It’s a frenetic feast for the eyes. If only someone had paid that much attention to the writing. ... It’s a ghost story, but it’s also not a ghost story, and also it’s a riff on ghost stories. It’s everything, and it’s nothing. It probably could have been a fun movie, but instead it’s yet another misguided, drawn-out Netflix series that will come and go without leaving a trace.
