Teenage Bounty Hunters is a frantic, laugh-out-loud combination of rebellion and responsibility. Tracking twin sisters Sterling and Blair as they stumble into the world of bounty hunting, the show echoes Ginny & Georgia's offbeat mother-daughter relationships, albeit with more tasers and takedowns. The show strikes a balance between high school drama and double lives and delivers unexpected emotional heft. While it does lean into satire, it still explores themes such as identity, family, and religious guilt. Bumped off too hastily after its one season, it still has a strong cult audience on Netflix. If you enjoyed the snappy dialogue and double lives of Ginny & Georgia, this is a must.


2. Big Little Lies

The series is based on best friends Addy and Beth, whose friendship is disrupted by an enigmatic new coach. Dark and moody, it dispenses suspense while probing intricate female friendships and identity crises. Although it didn't receive a second season, its cult status keeps increasing. If you enjoyed the gritty, teen-oriented drama in Ginny & Georgia, this one lands like a punch.


4. Firefly Lane
