My Dad the Bounty Hunter

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!

I am enjoying this series and presently watching season 2 on Netflix. I love sci-fi and the different places featured in outer space is amazing but the kids omg the kids are spoilt, don't listen and think they know it all really makes it impossible for me to truly enjoy. Maybe that's the way kids behave these days not sure but it makes it very annoying to enjoy the show. I love that the family is all in on the space adventure. I love bobbly in season 2 he is funny and does know what he is doing if given a chance by everyone. He is so gooey and funny please kids have respect for your elders and bobbly as he is an adult though he isn't human.

This review is from an adult point of view.

The series looks promising. It has an interesting storyline which happens to include outer space. It's filed with spacecrafts, an AI sidekick, new technology, gadgets, aliens and robots. What's not to like?

Plus it's endowed with fantastic CGI, I was expecting this to be entertaining. But after the 3rd episode, I found the two kids incredibly Annoying, with a capital "A".

Putting aside the kids for the moment, this could be a great series. The CGI is first rate. The look & feel gives me the same vibe as "Lightyear". The quality of the CGI of this series will give Pixar a run for their money

The storyline is also interesting, and due to its setting, they (writers) can go nuts with the storyline. Exposing us to as far as the creators' imagination can go. Filling us with new worlds and characters to their hearts' content.

But those kids, were not likeable at all. They came across as stubborn, undisciplined, and lacking total respect for the father (i.e. They don't listen). And considering the daughter is supposed to be somewhat of a genius with street smarts, ends up acting extremely dumb in many ways. My only hope is, as the series progresses, they (kids) will become more likeable. But after 3 episodes, not looking good so far.

VERDICT: It's a good watch, just ignore the two brats..., err, I meant, kids. Younger audiences will love it.

I watched this with the family and thoroughly enjoyed it. My Dad the Bounty Hunter is quick witted and quite humorous. The 3D-style animation works well and my hats off to the designers. I often found myself amazed by the detail paid to the characters' hair. Just check out the finely laid baby hairs and the jerry curl on an alien tiger if you don't believe me! The voice acting is also a real highlight. Voice acting doesn't get the recognition it should, but a gorgeous animation can fall flat if the voice acting is subpar. Everyone of the cast does a great job and really sells their part and the comedy. This is great for kids and/or adult fans of animation because cartoons aren't just for kids. Definitely recommend.

I just finished watching with my 7 yr old daughter.

She actually cried in the last episode and it tugged on my heartstrings too. That's the most fun I have had watching a series with her that felt like it was equally for both adults & kids. Fun and engaging story, AMAZING character design & style, great staging and just the right amount of Starwars homage but still managing to invent something totally new.

Few complaints about the voice acting for the kids which i agree with. The tone of the voice for the daughter lacked appeal and made her too bratty. Rest of the voices were great though.

Having worked in series myself people have to realize what an achievement this series is in a tight time frame and limited resources. The team have clearly poured their heart n soul into this one.
