This show is great. Though the plot was predictable at times I still found each episode interesting to watch and binged the whole series with my daughter.
The show is about the kids stowing away and making their dads job harder.
Being a parent that works from home I thought this was a great representation of what it looks like when you try to work while your kids are around. I'll admit his kids did not listen but put kids that age in space and I'm sure it would look a lot like this if space actually did consist of cute little cartoon characters.
Im happy to see a POC piece that isn't about racism or being different because of something semi related to skin or something around that topic but not directly that topic.

The storyline is actually pretty good and entertaining. I put it on out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised. At first, I thought they were pushing it not allowing it to be just a movie. After completing the season, I now believe this would be a delight as a series. I love sci-fi and even though it's geared towards children, it really is a family show. The main characters JUST SO HAPPEN to be African American, but they don't make the show about that. That is refreshing to see!
The series is not slow paced and predictable as some kids shows are. I will say as a parent, these kids will annoy you a bit because THEY DONT LISTEN. But it's necessary to push the storyline forward. They grow on you as the season comes to an end though.
They aren't preachy so, you will have to explain that violence and misbehaving in real life have consequences. The things happening in the show are for entertainment purposes only! They don't sugar coat it because it's a kids show! Which makes it awesome sci-fi watching. I'd suggest it for kids 7 and up! When they fight, they FIGHT!
The graphics are movie quality. The storyline doesn't have any holes in it as far as season 1. There are no unanswered questions about anything. My only complaint is, I feel like the father doesn't react in a realistic way when the kids adamantly don't listen. Again, I think it's to push the storyline forward. If you watch bobs burgers he has very much so a "BOB" response! He never actually reprimands them for constantly undermining him, even though it puts them in serious danger. Other than that, I cannot wait for season 2. Netflix did a good job with this one!

The short runtime and very good CGI along with a well worn story, helps this show tremendously. The kids are a bit on the extra side, really pushing the boundaries on what parents allow.
The action scenes are well done, the characters are well fleshed out except Vax, (maybe a season 2?)
As a father myself, I could understand where the titular character was going through and also sometimes mistakenly thinking that making money for your family will make up for the feelings of guilt not being around as much.
I would recommend this to parents and the family, a bit violent towards the latter part, but can be done away by looking at the message they're trying to convey.
Making time with your family, being honest with them and always means for than providing for them.

The art design here is amazing. The texture of the hair? Masterpiece. The story as is could've been a movie honestly as most of the 10 episode 80% of them the kids are just being brats while the dad gets exasperated and yet the feeling of consequence doesn't show itself until the later episodes. Pretty standard tbh.
It's an overall good family friendly drama that focuses on the dad and kids. The dad loves his kids. The kids lover their father. They just have a lack of communication due to the nature of the dad being a bounty hunter as per title. Happy ending with a hook for possible 2nd season.
IF you hate watching kids do their own thing without regard for consequence and act like they know what they're doing because nothing "bad" truly happens then this show isn't for you.

My wife found this show and we decided to watch it with our daughter. With so many shows that have gore and adult themes aimed at kids this was a welcome change.
The voice acting is superb and it took me awhile to recognize some of the voice actors even though I follow them in other shows.
The music is amazing with some throwbacks to late 80s and 90s hip-hop.
The plot us solid too with sci-fi themes great for introducing kids to similar shows. If you're looking for a way to introduce your kids to science fiction without all the extra fluff, this is it! A great watch for adults and kids.
Will definitely watch again.
