Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 38 /100

Critical reception for Netflix's supernatural YA series Boo, Bitch was predominantly negative to mixed. Many reviewers felt the high-concept premise was stretched far too thin across a multi-episode miniseries, arguing that the story would have fared much better as a breezy, feature-length film. While the show set out to explore high school anxieties around feeling invisible, critics found that the execution relied too heavily on glib humor and tonal missteps.

A primary point of frustration among critics was the show's downward spiral in quality over its run. Outlets highlighted how the initial charm and campy potential quickly derailed into borderline unwatchable nonsense, hindered by a script that many found painful and narratives that made little sense.

Despite the overarching disappointment, a few reviewers found mild enjoyment in the central friendship between the leads, praising the early dynamic as lighthearted fun. However, the general consensus concluded that the show failed to deliver on its intriguing setup, resulting in a major letdown for audiences.

“straddles the fine line between campy and hokey, deliciously ridiculous and dumb, cheeky and cringe before the second half derails into borderline unwatchable, cheap nonsense”

“agonisingly unfunny and there are several odd moments that just don't make a lot of sense narratively”

“lots of fun, with the cutest best friends this side of Booksmart”

“a supernatural narrative that hopes to illuminate a very ordinary plight: not just feeling unseen but feeling like no one might actually miss you if you just disappeared”

Why fans love it

The 2022 miniseries Boo, Bitch blends high school comedy with supernatural tropes. Lana Condor leads the cast as a teenager whose final year of school shifts from an invisible existence to an unexpected afterlife. The show explores the desperate social pressures of graduation through a genre-bending lens.

By treating a ghostly transformation as a catalyst for social reinvention, the series leans into the absurdity of adolescent insecurity. It avoids a somber tone, opting instead for a brisk, lighthearted take on the limits of a human lifespan. The result is a brief, focused story about the fleeting nature of popularity and the complicated reality of teenage friendship.
