Teenage Bounty Hunters
— When reviewers started praising “Teenage Bounty Hunters” and calling it “woke,” I knew I had to check it out. I can’t speak to anything’s relative “wokeness,” but I admit it’s unexpectedly fun and irreverent enough that anyone who takes things too seriously is bound to be offended one way or another. It follows two, privileged sisters as they maneuver rivalry and deceit at their Christian high school; the proclivities of their wealthy, Christian parents; their teenage hormones; and a lucky accident that lands them in the world of bounty hunting. I’d say it’s sort of a cross between “Clueless” and “The Politician” under a Christian umbrella. It’s not for everyone, but you’ll know after the first episode if it’s your kind of dark, edgy, kitschy, coming-of-age series or not. [Netflix streaming.]

[Season 1: 2020, 10 Episodes, 48-58 minutes/episode. Created by Kathleen Jordan. Starring Maddie Phillips, Angelica Bette Fellini, and Kadeem Hardison.]
