I finished watching Teenage Bounty Hunters some days ago, knowing it had been cancelled, but I loved it anyway.

And after watching the first episode, I did wonder if the mom, Debbie, had a twin. Because I figured if the woman in the wanted poster was Debbie, then the police would already know to arrest her, or that Bowser would do it. Weirdly enough, Bowser didn't even pay much attention to the wanted poster until that big moment in episode nine. If he had, he would have believed Debbie was the woman in the poster much earlier. Also, I considered the possibility that the woman wasn't even Debbie, or her twin. Because their actress looks so different in the poster.

Maddie Phillips, who plays Sterling, is a great actress. I love how expressive her face is. When Sterling is feeling something, happiness, anger, etc. you can really tell. Sterling was also my favorite character.

I am bummed out the twins are actually cousins. On a related note, I wondered if their twin telepathy was actually real. It seemed like a figment of their imagination until the final episode, when Blair knew something that she would have only known if she telepathically communicated with Sterling. That was a brilliant moment. I love how it proved that the twin telepathy thing undeniably real. Before that, it seemed ambiguous on whether or not it was real. When Debbie and Dana had their own telepathy moment, it was unexpected, and that's what made it funnier.

I liked the girls better as sisters. They're still sisters, of course, but I wish the cousins twist hadn't been included. Also, I liked how they actually seemed like real siblings. The way they would argue was so sibling-like, especially in the intro of the last episode, where Blair says Sterling's hair looks stupid. And Sterling says Blair's face looks bad. Then they growl at each other. I love that scene, including the moment in it when the girls arrive home.

I wish the show had focused more on bounty hunting. Sterling, Blair, and Bowser were awesome as a group. Plus, I loved the girls' bond with him. I also noticed that Bowser was closer to Blair than he was with Sterling. His "that's my girl" line after she shot the lights in that one episode was heartwarming, though. And him calling Blair "baby girl" and comforting her over the phone in episode nine was sweet, and he did all of that while he had a job to do, but he decided to help Blair anyway. But I do hate how he denied that the girls were like family to him during his conversation with Yolanda in the last episode. That was a jerk move. Are you really going to tell me that he didn't love Sterling and Blair?

Something I don't like about the show: it wasn't that funny. Blair's first boyfriend crying after he talks about how his mom is his soulmate was probably the funniest moment, but this show is hardly a comedy. There's not a lot of laugh-out-loud moments.

Bowser also gave a helpful speech to Blair about whether or not the afterlife is real. So much better than that cliché "Dying will be like it was for you before you were born," which I never found comforting. Unfortunately, that's the first line people go to when they're attempting to comfort someone who is afraid of dying. It sucks.

That speech Bowser gave happens in the strip club episode, which was pretty cool. I always go back to Cherry's dance routine, not because I'm a pervert or anything, but because that scene is so fun to watch. And I love Sterling's dance movements she does in the background, especially when Bowser sits back down after he thinks Cherry is going to run away, and Sterling bobs her body up and down. Also, the song that plays throughout that scene makes me love it even more.

And about Dana, Sterling's real mom. You can tell Dana genuinely cares about her, like when she wants a hug from Sterling in the truck, and how she affectionately calls Sterling "Muffin". Also, I think she kidnapped Sterling instead of Blair because she wanted to finally reunite with her and spend time with her.

I'm depressed TNB got cancelled. That plot twist at the end raised so many questions, ones that will never be answered. And things didn't end well. Sterling is back with Luke instead of April. And Blair and Miles aren't a couple anymore. And the girls seemed pretty sad when they found out they weren't sisters. We will never watch a scene showing them accepting the fact they are cousins, but still seeing each other as sisters anyway.

Also, people hated the title. Why? If I had to come up with a better one, I wouldn't be able to. It sounds fine just the way it is. The original title was Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters, which is pretty bad, because the girls were hardly slutty, and that title would have been too long. Plus, it would have sounded awkward to say to people.

And Blair called herself depressed during her last scene with Miles. Blair didn't seem depressed at all. I never got the impression that she was deeply sad about her life. If Blair is supposed to be depressed, that could have been shown better.

It was pretty heartwarming when Sterling and Blair told each other I love you in their telepathic conversation in the last episode, and apologized for what they said to each other in the intro of this episode. That was sweet. I can't deny that TNB had some nice heartwarming moments, which I love to see in fiction and in real life.

I like how clever the characters are. Like when Bowser makes Sterling shoot the light bulbs so the naked skip can step on the shattered glass and fall. And Sterling's method of getting Blair to track her down in the final episode. Plus, how Sterling gives Dana false information about the family dog to confirm that Dana isn't Debbie. I love seeing characters do genuinely intelligent things.

TNB is a good show. I won't call it a great one, but it was pretty enjoyable. But the flaws were irritating enough to make me not give it a higher rating. I think the thing I hated most about it was that it wasn't that funny. Still, there was a lot I loved about the show.

3 out of 5 stars.

Seriously, Netflix, what the hell is your problem?

[offonaherosjourney]

The first streaming platform to figure out that they can have as a main (and even sole) selling point that they will have a contractual obligation to properly wrap up all their original shows regardless of success (be it with a shorter season, a special episode, or a movie) is going to make so much money they'll have to invent new numbers

[frogsmulder]

Okay doing this again bc there are a few mistakes on the last one

[nevrevrshppn]

Me watching any Netflix show that isn't Stranger things or Wednesday: Hey, this is a good quirky show with an interesting plot and fun characters. I can wait to see how the story grows and develops that ends in a satisfying conclusion.

Netflix:

[brainrotconnoisseur]

[emptyjunior]

Here’s some lesser known sapphic tv shows that I recommend

Yellowjackets — only two canon lesbians and a gay man but in my opinion like half of them are lesbians, they get stranded in canada because of their plane crashing and eventually resort to cannibalism. Season three comes premiers on valentines day.

Teenage Bounty Hunters— one lesbian and one bisexual, they go to a religious school. Enemies to lovers, show ends on a cliffhanger

Bodkin— Irish journalist lesbian returns to Ireland because her boss sent her there due to complications involving a guy who killed himself, along with two other people to do a Podcast. The girl she kisses only has like 5 minutes of screen time and they don’t end up in a relationship. Hasn’t been cancelled or renewed for another season.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer— no lesbianism until season 4, this show is especially good if u love the whimsigoth aesthetic. Theres a really popular ship involving Buffy and Faith, unfortunately the writers didn’t make them canon. But there’s two canon witch lesbians.

Dare Me— so underrated, two canon lesbian cheerleaders. Very homoretic friendship, they kiss once. It’s like Jackieshauna but more toxic. There’s definitely some dark themes, unfortunately it was cancelled. But it’s still worth the watch in my opinion.

The Boys— this show is definitely really known, but most people don’t know that there is in fact a sapphic relationship in the show involving one of the main characters. Shes bisexual and her girlfriend or situationship is lesbian. They get a happy ending, at least so far. Theres another season coming so I can’t be sure.

The Fall of the House of Usher— a variety of queer characters, only two have canon sexualities. One of the main characters, Madeline Usher kisses a girl. She sees that girl everywhere as her brother’s kids start dying quickly. The only canon sexualities is her brother’s kid, shes a lesbian and has a wife. Definitely check out Mike Flanagan’s other shows, almost all have some sort of sapphic rep.

My toxic trait is that I will watch a show even after fully knowing it's been cancelled and then mourn the seasons I will never get to watch.

Furthermore, I will forever hope the streaming service will renew the show.

[sappshipcaptain]

Catglass - completely discarded after a literal KISS. Avatrice - beautifully written but CANCELLED (+had potential for a happy ending if more seasons were made but instead ended in tragedy). Sydney/Dina - had so much potential but barely got to explore romance before their show was CANCELLED. Sterling/April - didn’t end up together but could’ve if it wasn’t CANCELLED. F U Netflix.

[confessionsdiaz]

i enjoyed/watched most of these and im still mad(warrior nun isnt here considering it is coming back??)

[strangertheories]

I hate studio execs more than studio execs hate renewing shows with lesbians in them

[pearlsdiamondsandvodka]

honestly netflix just keep shooting themselves in the foot. they can’t keep making shows and then cancelling them. i don’t even wanna watch netflix original shows anymore because I don’t want to emotionally invest in a show netflix doesn’t give a shit about and will cancel immediately anyway. they never let any show have a proper story and a proper ending. why should we care about netflix when they don’t care about the audience nor the show creators

[the-lone-zarbi-on-trenzalore]

Streaming services are not going to stop dropping original series with piss poor marketing and cancelling them if half the subscriber base doesn’t binge the whole thing on day one. They’re just gonna phase out the part where these shows are groundbreaking or creatively risky and they’re gonna keep expecting us to forget about something a year after it fails to go megaviral.

So fuck Netflix’s business model and reblog this post with your favourite streaming show that got cancelled buried and forgotten. It’s our job to keep these fandoms alive now. Also I want more of these forgotten gems in my life.
