Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

Seemingly out of nowhere this show appears- 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. This show is great. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it on the forum so far. It's shows like this that makes Netflix worth while.

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

I'm four episodes in and I'm loving it so far. A few people have been talking about it in the Netflix thread in Streaming Talk.

I watched his last weekend and enjoyed it a lot. The premise is ridiculous, but the two leads are fantastic and sell the shit out of it. The finale is pretty wild and ends on a cliffhanger. They better do a second season.

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

I finished up the final 3 episodes and agree with dex that if you can get past of the premise of the show being about two teens who attend a religious school who moonlight as bounty hunters you will find yourself maybe thinking this show belongs on your list of top 3 Netflix originals released so far in 2020, it is that good. What a pleasant surprise as I knew nothing about this show when I first sat down to watch but the acting by the two ladies who play the teenagers is seriously fantastic. I like lots of other cast members on the show but the two leads are the real pleasant surprise.

Mostly just replying so that this is more obvious to me over the next few days. I tried to remember what was being discussed as a surprisingly good show, but couldn't when I was scrolling through netflix. I'm hoping to check it out once I finish up my current show.

I'm halfway through the series and loving it.

I forgot about the Ying Yang Twins (Salt Shaker song during the strip club episode) and I've been blasting through their tracks the past few days. Early 2000s club bangers

I really liked this show. Not sure if anyone noticed but the pilot episode was more comedic and raunchy than the rest of the show was. Haven't said that I enjoyed the hell out of the show. The leads are fantastic but the support cast are fantastic as well. The teacher does a great job with a throw away part and the characters are a little deeper than they seem at first. Great fun with surprising depth. In for seasons 2-6, though Netflix will only give it three

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

Just finished the season. Excellent sleeper hit.

Solid acting, great character development, and a fun premise mixed in with a coming-of-age story twist.

This is a classic "don’t judge a book by its cover" situation, but for a TV series. With a title like "Teenage Bounty Hunters", a lot of Netflix users will probably skip over it.

I only clicked on the show because I was bored and had nothing else to watch. I thought I was about to watch a 2-hour movie. And after watching the pilot, I was pleasantly surprised.

Great soundtrack. Some of the editing between cuts could be cleaned up a bit.

Bring on season 2!

So are the girls sister-cousins?

yes, the family lie is that Blair and Sterling are fraternal twins.

The best part is that this was the second twist of the episode. Of course, the mom having an identical twin was the first twist.

Such a good finale.

Holy shit. That's fucked up in so many ways.

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

I thought this was great! Pleasant surprise. I think this and Insatiable have been my favorite Netflix series recently that I had no idea what to expect going in and they were much better than I expected.

Liked the show much more than I expected, except for the plot hole exposed by the final episode twist.
Spoiler:
So many scenes during the season of them using special twin communication, also corroborated by their mother and her twin sister doing so in the final episode, but that's absurd if they are not actually twins (given the show's premises; I don't believe in twin telepathy anyway).

Spoiler:
I never thought about whether twin telepathy exists (in reality, probably not). But I do have twin girl cousins, so maybe I should ask them

I wouldn't really call it a plot hole though. If they were placed in the same household since they were newborns, they will still have that sister bond (and hypothetical telepathy) anyways.

Spoiler:
the next time you meet a pair of sister-cousins you can ask what special abilities they might or might not have.

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

I finally finished this tonight. I loved it and I hope it gets a second season. I'm worried it won't since it's not been in the top 10 the last couple weeks (or at least when I've been watching Netflix). I've been recommending it to everyone that I talk about tv shows with.

Started watching this last night after reading this thread the other day. Only two episodes in but am really liking it thus far. Casting is spot on all around.

I believe it spent several weeks in the top 10 before dropping down on the list so it has that going for it. I am pretty confident Netflix will give it a second season.

Re: Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix)

Two things in its favor is that Jenji Kohan is an EP and it films in Georgia. I think a second season is a pretty good bet.

I hope so. We'll see. Netflix renews their shows based on how fast and how many people watch "binge" them.
