To be clear, this is not why I couldn't stand this show.Ĭhalk it up to place, timing, and an overall fatigue with characters like Sterling and Blair. Indeed, what depth exists in this frothy treat is experienced through its thoughtful depiction of faith in the lives and families of these girls. Instead, writers use her sex and other treatments of sexuality across the season to show the encompassing and forgiving nature of Christianity as opposed to making an easy mark of unshakable faith and playing up elements of judgment and bigotry. The choice to make her the twin that has sex outside of the confines of marriage is inspired, but not because it goes against the projected expectation that Blair, the dark-haired fan of industrial electronic metal, would be the one to ford that wilderness first.
Sterling is the picture of a good girl: blonde and virginal looking, respected enough by her peers to be named that year's worship leader in the school's Bible study group. This is a community she knows well, having grown up in a community like the suburban Atlanta one depicted in "Teenage Bounty Hunters" – a locale where verdant streets and ample manses are taken for granted as a birthright.

What may be the series' greatest achievement, though, is series creator Kathleen Jordan's considerate treatment of conservative evangelical Christianity. This could've come across as cheap camp, but Phillips and Fellini handle these interactions and the rest of what comes afterward with a sense of genuine lightheartedness, owning the full-fledged adorableness of these sweet 16-year-olds. They're armed, bubbly, Jesus-loving kids desperate for excitement, even though this inciting event occurs mere minutes after Sterling bangs her true blue dolt of a boyfriend Luke (Spencer House), talking him out of his abstinence pledge by quoting scripture. The other brandishes the pistol in her purse.īear in mind that this happens before Bowser Jenkins (Kadeem Hardison), the bounty hunter actually in pursuit, reluctantly agrees to take them on as apprentices. Then again the amount of enjoyment this show offers a person really depends on what perspective you bring to it. You'll get an idea of whether this show is for you from the moment Sterling (Maddie Phillips) and Blair (Anjelica Bette Fellini) Wesley respond to the fugitive pulling a gun on them by flexing their more impressive firepower: one shows off the pump-action shotgun that they just happen to be carrying in the truck, just because. The title alone is enough to make a would-be viewer salivate – it vibrates with B-movie, Russ Meyer campiness. Even before a person finds out that it's about a pair of rich, Christian and ever so slightly ditzy fraternal twins who quite literally crash into the world of bounty hunting when they slam their daddy's truck into a bail jumper, a large segment of the viewership is primed and ready to binge all 10 episodes. " Teenage Bounty Hunters" is one big lure.
