Just because a show made it to the top 10 list on Netflix doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Netflix’s latest teen comedy – Boo, Bitch – may be at #5, but critics have been attacked.
Boo, Bitch isn’t your typical high school comedian, and she has a supernatural tendency to try to make things fun. The show’s spot in the Netflix Top 10 means it joins the likes of Stranger Things 4, which continues to dominate, Umbrella Academy Season 3 and Alone. There’s also the CW’s The Flash, which raced in the top ten over the weekend.
What is Boo, bitch about?
Boo, Bitch is a supernatural teen comedy that follows Erica (Lana Condor), who finds herself stuck as a ghost after her first real high school gig. She ended up that way after meeting a moose, which is not surprising. Those horned beasts are huge, and I don’t want to encounter them at night.
Both Erica and her “still alive” friend Gia (Zoe Margaret Colletti) realize this is an opportunity to “be seen” and stop being painfully invisible in the final weeks of their freshman year. Which is made possible by the fact that Erica is not a ghost in the traditional sense. She still walks and talks and goes to the bathroom and can’t walk through walls.
It’s enough to make you doubt the entire supernatural premise of the show, and you have to tune in to see if Erica is really dead or is she some kind of weird hard ghost.
What do critics think of Boo, bitch?
Boo, Bitch is currently swinging a 54% score on Rotten Tomatoes (Opens in a new tab)based on 13 critical reviews, and 64% of the audience based on the ratings of 25 users, the program also has a score of 5.4 out of 10 in IMDB (Opens in a new tab)based on 640 ratings.
Adrian Horton in Watchman (Opens in a new tab) He notices that Boo, Bitch starts off strong and has his sharpest moments. But unfortunately it “turns into nonsense” very quickly. Horton found that all of this was running out by the second half of the season, adding to the show the “deflation plot twist, [which] Badly summons a cruel charade of TikTok fandom, turning Erika into a power-hungry monster.”
Caroline Framke from diverse (Opens in a new tab) Note that “there is something missing from ‘Boo, Bitch’ that prevents it from being as effective as possible, despite the efforts of the game’s stars to fill in the gaps.” Meanwhile Laura Bradley from daily monster (Opens in a new tab) He concluded, “All I know is that by the end of Boo, Bitch, a very painful kind of anxiety has taken over…”
Of course, a score of 54% means that there is some positive welcome. Horn’s dignity twisting (Opens in a new tab) He said that “underneath its shiny veneer,” Boo, Bitch is a playful, poignant look at love, life, and sadness. Angie Han comes The Hollywood Reporter (Opens in a new tab) We shared concerns about the transfer of power to the show, but noted that Boo, Bitch “is loyal enough to be kind of fun, [the] Early episodes make a bad case for staying long enough to find out.”
Expectations: Should you watch Boo, Bitch?
Boo, Bitch seems to have received some very mixed reception, so telling you whether or not it’s worth watching is a tough prospect. What I can say is that if you weren’t a fan of teen drama, or disrespectful high school comedy, this wouldn’t be the show for you.
Other than that, the best course of action is to watch the first two episodes and see if it catches your eye. By most accounts, the first half of the season appears to be Boo, the strongest Bitch. So, if that doesn’t appeal to you, it’s very likely that you’ll enjoy the latter half a lot less.
