Netflix fans are rediscovering a 'bonkers' 10-part series that has been hailed as a 'perfect weekend binge'. The show, Teenage Bounty Hunters, originally released in 2020, appears to have flown under the radar for many viewers, despite its critical acclaim.
Created by Kathleen Jordan, who later wrote the 2024 miniseries The Decameron, the series follows 16-year-old twin sisters Sterling and Blair as they navigate life at an elite Southern high school. After crashing their father's truck, they stumble into an unlikely career as bounty hunters, teaming up with veteran Bowser Jenkins for an over-the-top adventure involving bail-skipping criminals and suburban secrets.
The show boasts an impressive 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a fan score of 96%. One reviewer described it as 'bonkers, but very smart, fun bonkers', while The Guardian praised it as 'a really cracking way to spend a series of evenings' and 'oddly satisfying'.
Fans who have discovered the series share similar enthusiasm, with many recommending it as a weekend binge. One viewer posted: 'Amazing show with potential and actresses. Exciting plot. I binge watched it the whole day.' Another commented: 'I watched it in a day. The story is super original, characters are lovable and funny.'
Despite its popularity among those who have seen it, many Netflix users missed the series upon its initial release. Some viewers still question why a second season was not produced, with one fan calling it 'easily in my top 10 shows of the last decade'.
