    Not for kids or teenagers. The opening scene is a girl pressuring a guy into sex and NEVER getting consent and another giving an un-emotional handjob.

    I was looking so forward to this show. What a fun idea of having female Teenage Bounty Hunters! Breaking the mold! Learning to take charge and then they don't ever bounty hunt... Just another "coming of age" but woke and with soup opera    Not for kids or teenagers.

    Although it has the word teenage in it, the humor is fun for all ages. Excellent twists along the way.

    It started a little cheesy, but found its footing quickly. I fell in love with the twins And the show very early on. By episode 5 I already knew it was fantastic and then the plot twists really started and made it so much better. I have also never been as invested in a fictional relationship as I was in one that appears in this show. I just cannot recommend it enough.

    I unexpectedly enjoyed TBH from the start, but LOVED it by the end. While not perfect, it does so many things well. The storyline moves along at a good pace, the dialogue is just right (funny and deep in turns), the directing is impressive, and wow, did they cast this show well!

    I feel like every single character was portrayed by the best actor for that role. All of the leads struck exactly the right note at every turn, making the characters both believable and lovable. (And can I just say, I think Devon Hales' eyes need their own byline? Sheesh, talk about windows to April's soul.)

    I loved the story, the humor, and especially the relationships. I adored the sisterly interplay and friendship, the parents' ups and downs, every time Ellen spoke to anyone, the (kind of) mean kids trio whose character developments took some fascinating turns, and watching the sisters drive Bowser crazy. Rarely have I finished a show so emotionally invested and attached to the characters and their various relationships.

    Between the acting, writing, and the direction, it felt like this was a labor of love for everybody involved, and that cohesiveness showed throughout. Such well-choreographed body language and placement, timing, editing, facial expressions, vocal tones, and camera angles, is, I assume, partly the product of a positive cast and crew collaboration.

    While this show may not be for everyone, I am very much looking forward to seeing more of this show in the future.    … Expand

    Teenage Bounty Hunters was an amazing ride filled with comedy, action and drama. It had great writing and acting and was the best show I saw in 2020. The veteran actors like Kadeem Hardison, Virginia Williams and Mackenzie Astin gave great performances but the real standouts were breakout stars Anjelica Bette Fellini, Maddie Phillips and Devon Hales.

    A show that is at its best when sticking to what's in it's title, bounty hunting. It slips a bit into the soap opera territory during the middle part of the season, but picks up again in it's final couple of episodes.

    As both sisters start to explore the assumptions they’ve been handed about who’s worthy of respect and how they should act on their impulses, the piecemeal approach to nabbing people who’ve skipped out on bail doesn’t quite hold the same weight. Yet in those moments when all these disparate elements do click into place, there’s more than enough onscreen energy to want to see where Blair and Sterling’s stories head next.

    “Teenage Bounty Hunters” is pretty much as good and bad as you’d expect it to be. Well, maybe a bit more bad. Which is unfortunate because the show’s young leads — Maddie Phillips and Anjelica Bette Fellini — have wonderful chemistry, batting teen nonsense, emotional eruptions and giddy observations back and forth with crisp timing.

    This show is just as fun and irreverent as its title, but there’s actually more going on beneath that surface of snark.
