So much of “Teenage Bounty Hunters” shares the same energy of “Gilmore Girls,” especially when it comes to Sterling and her former childhood friend turned sworn enemy April Stevens (Devon Hales).
APRIL STEVENS TEENAGE BOUNTY HUNTERS SERIES
This is where “Teenage Bounty Hunters” pins the mark and bounces feverishly into some of the most wonderous witty writing that amplifies a whole new level of entertaining satire that goes beyond the benchmarks.Ĭreated by Kathleen Jordan (whose name should really become as synonymous as Sherman-Palladino) is in your head because she takes so much of what made the 2000s based teen series “Gilmore Girls” so beloved and gives “Teenage Bounty Hunters” the boundary pushing and infectious twist that “Gilmore Girls” failed to find in its stride. In the moment Sterling and Blair pretend that they are bounty hunters too and through a series of chaotic and hilarious turns, come under Bowser’s employ in order to pay off the damage to their dad’s truck which is damaged from the crash. On their way home from their trysts, the girls get into a fender bender with a guy who ends up being on the run from a bounty hunter, gruff but good guy Bowser (the sublime Kadeem Hardison). Except what Sterling was doing in the car with her boyfriend Luke (Spencer House) is anything but pure. The series starts developing the two unique sides of the teens we see from the jump, and it sets the tone letting the viewer pick up the breadcrumbs that these initial scenes are a perfectly paired extension of each of their personalities – the sexually charged twin Blair (Anjelica Bette Fellini) and the seemingly would be more chaste sister Sterling (Maddie Phillips). We get a sense of the school being religious based instantly from the sign that reads, “Our School Is Prayer Conditioned.” We see two teenage girls parked separately outside of the almost castle like school setting with their respective boyfriends.
Press play and we get a tight shot of Willingham Academy from the parking lot. It ended up striking me hard with the smart interlaced social commentary coolly stirred with comedy in heartfelt harmony that offered up a roller coaster ride that I was least expecting. When I gave the “Teenage Bounty Hunters” a chance, it was the greatest surprise I could have ever treated myself to. It didn’t give me enough of the sense of the series, but I decided to take a chance and see if it had more to offer with what Netflix seemed to be holding back about it. Initially, I only saw posts about the series on Instagram, which didn’t really draw me in with whatever teasers were being used, let alone the show title. If you are amongst the masses on Twitter or Facebook putting out into the void that you need your next binge and you are searching for something that will clinch that kick, “Teenage Bounty Hunters” has the flex and fix for you.
