Netflix has always been somewhat of a black box, but whether the streaming service had a good reason to cancel the show or not, fans are pushing for it to come back, whether by Netflix or another provider.ĭespite the disappointing end to this witty show, it’s worth the upset to brave the abandoned first season. Many viewers are as baffled as I am, given Teenage Bounty Hunters‘ 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and place on the New York Times “Best shows of 2020” list.

Newsweek references “low viewing figures” for the show’s cancellation, were “low” means only staying on the top 10 charts for two weeks in the U.S. Some cite COVID-19 others, lack interest. Nevertheless, it would have been bearable if Netflix hadn’t canceled the show two months after it premiered. Whether this enormous cliffhanger was due to hubris, certainty, or desperation for a second season, it would have been unsatisfying even if the wait were only for a season two. Such an ending should be reserved for shows guaranteed a second season - which perhaps this one believed it was. The climax feels like less of a cliffhanger and more of a midpoint. Though there are compelling ups and downs throughout the season, almost no threads are tied at the end of season one, whether plot, relationship or otherwise. The seeds of evolving personalities and interesting relationships are sown but unfortunately not fully reaped in Teenage Bounty Hunters‘ first season alone. Even in the wilder scenarios, the dialogue mostly stays down to earth, and for some reason, the show stays wholly believable. The characters read realistically, especially because besides the twins’ bounty hunting, everyone has a pretty regular life. The twins’ friends and family are, like them, noticeably flawed but overwhelmingly likable.
The leads portray teenagers who are believable, that is to say, somewhat immature, but not obnoxious in the least. Most notable, though, is the pure synchronicity of twins Maddie Phillips and Anjelica Bette Fellini. The characters in this action-comedy-drama have fantastic chemistry without exception. The pressures of keeping secrets and discovering your own identity are pillars of the real-life teenage experience, and though the stakes may be objectively raised in Teenage Bounty Hunters, the regular high school experience can feel just as intense. Unexpected Believabilityĭespite its unlikely premise, the show is personable and even relatable. Though it sometimes leans toward drama, the show is very much a comedy and is often laugh-out-loud funny. Meanwhile, they try to hide their side hustle from parents and friends at their very conservative Christian school. Through season one, we follow twins Sterling and Blair as they catch criminals, explore their identities, and develop relationships with family, friends, and bounty hunting, mentors. They quickly find that they’re pretty good at it, for teenagers, and they enjoy it besides. Its protagonists, teenage twin girls who act their age and almost look it, fall into bounty hunting by accident.

With a title like a pulpy crime novel and characters reminiscent of Sex Education, Teenage Bounty Hunters isn’t far off from the “high school drama with higher stakes” TV trend.
