Brisk and funny, warm and wonderfully oddball, Teenage Bounty Hunters is a binge everyone — except maybe Old Testament God — can get behind. Read full review

There's more than a dash of Legally Blonde and a full handful of Veronica Mars here, mixed with a steady drip of quippy reminders that girls' bodies can stink, too. It probably shouldn't work. But it comes out fully baked, ready to be binged. Read full review

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

Belying the simplicity of its title, Teenage Bounty Hunters gets extremely complicated as it delves into concepts like teenage purity, first-time queer experiences, and an intriguing mystery involving the girls’ mom, whose polished facade apparently hides a multitude of past sins. Fortunately, the main cast is backed by equally talented performers like Mackenzie Astin as the girls’ dad, underrated Fairly Legal alum Virginia Williams as their duplicitous mom, and Devon Hales as a venomous classmate.

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. Read full review

Between Hardison, Phillips, Fellini, some witty chit-chat, and a premise oozing with potential, the bones of Teenage Bounty Hunters are strong and sturdy. But the finished product couldn't quite figure out where to put and how to connect them. Season 1 ends expecting a Season 2, where things could improve if Teenage Bounty Hunters lives up to its title more. Read full review

“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.

It started a little cheesy, but found its footing quickly. I fell in love with the twins And the show very early on.

All three gave award winning worthy performances and will be in high demand after this magnificent show.… Expand

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 feelI 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

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

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.

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 chargeNot 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.
