Review: Smartly satirical Teenage Bounty Hunters is a perfect weekend binge

Twin sisters juggle the demands of high school, their Christian youth group, and raging hormones with a side gig working for a local bounty hunter in the new Netflix series, Teenage Bounty Hunters. One of the executive producers is Jenji Kohan, who also worked on Weeds, GLOW, and Orange Is the New Black, and Teenage Bounty Hunters shares a similar sensibility.(Mild spoilers below, but no major reveals.)Per the official premise:Rebelling against their buttoned-up Southern community, sixteen-year-old fraternal twin sisters Sterling (Maddie Phillips, Summerland) and Blair (Anjelica Bette Fellini, The Gifted) Wesley team up with veteran bounty hunter Bowser Jenkins (Kadeem Hardison, Black Monday) for an over-the-top adventure as they dive into the world of bail skipping baddies and suburban secrets while trying to navigate high school drama—love, sex, and study hall.Atlanta high schoolers Sterling and Blair meet Bowser by accident one night when they crash their father's pricey hunting truck into the car of a bail jumper ("skip") he's chasing. The dialogue is note-perfect, the characters are complicated in interesting ways, and these ten episodes are expertly paced, making Teenage Bounty Hunters a perfect weekend binge.Teenage Bounty Hunters is now streaming on Netflix.Listing image by NetflixYou must login or create an account to comment.Join the Ars Orbital Transmission mailing list to get weekly updates delivered to your inbox.
