I am breaking radio silence for this one. Teenage Bounty Hunters is a work of art that deserves another season. This is not about "I like it, I want more", it's about all this show represents.

Teenage Bounty Hunters took no advertising to become a fan favorite and take top 10 in the Netflix trending. It did so by having a wonderful, lovable cast, wild action, hilarious dialogue, and - most importantly - meaningful subject matter addressed with care.
What could have easily been a B rate crime-comedy was instead a surprisingly refreshing show about real struggles, real characters, and real entertainment. I laughed, I cried, I learned, I grew. Television just does not have this surprising depth to it.
Look at two of the bigger elements in this show: sexuality and religion. TBH did not strike down, or up. It portrayed both realistically and, IMHO, positively. It made anyone who fell into either (or all) categories feel welcomed and represented.
Religion was not the evil oppressive problem most LGBT+ shows make it out to be. And LGBT was not a sickness tied to "other" depravities like edgier shows make it out to be. Heck, one of the show's Stars is someone who falls into both camps, and is a positive example of both.
If you look at it from a numbers game, TBH should be renewed. If you look at it from a social awareness perspective, TBH should be renewed. A failure to do so is bad business, and bad form.
