I love this show
chrisrvccm8 March 2024
Wow the hunters on this show. Car ride to jail is an understatement. These hunters are great people and empathetic, there is nothing wrong with that and i applaud this way of treating these people no matter what their charge is. I will be a watcher of this show. Everyone has a story and trying to generate whether they are real or not is the wrong idea, it's the fact of the nature of the bounty hunters bringing them in is what can make even the smallest possible change in these peoples lives that matters the most. Even if they can create a positive change in 1 percent of these people, that is good enough for me. I can guarantee its more than 1 percent because this is a chance during this ride to have someone listen to them without prejudice and provide them with some sort of compassion before they have to decide to conform to what is right in society. Life is a constant battle between good and bad and maybe the hunters can help them get on the right path when they get spoken to like a human being rather than treated like a criminal. Just my opinion.

Series is titled poorly...
NullUnit7 March 2024
It should be titled .... "The car ride to jail" because that's exactly what it is... a car ride to jail. Listening to the conversations taking place in the car on the way to jail. This could, in effect, be a podcast. Why this is a television series is a mystery to me.. there's no excitement, no intrigue, no interest. It's nothing more than listening to a bunch of criminals talk as they are headed to jail.

Pay no attention to the FAKE 10 star reviews from users with only 1 review (posted after I posted this review) and which are most likely related to this show in some manner. This is a VERY boring and uninteresting show - the people in the show are irrelevant - the premise of the show is just atrocious in terms of entertainment. Most will go into this expecting something along the lines of "Dog the bounty hunter" but that's not even close.. this show is literally a podcast on TV - 100% conversation, that's all.

It's nothing more than listening to criminals talk as they are driven to jail.

Great show. Shows real life unscripted.
jdm-4040812 March 2024
Watch an episode or two and you'll enjoy the very real unscripted human portraits. The bail bondsman are good people doing their jobs and interacting with people as equals (without the pedantic, superior attitude that you see on some law enforcement shows). Sometimes they acknowledge their illegal actions and other times they share their stories/versions of what happened to land them on the wrong side of the law. But it definitely doesn't have that "lawbreakers are bad, mkay?" judgmental tone like most law shows.

This show doesn't fit the progressive narrative because it shows people making bad choices and facing the legal consequences. It doesn't make law enforcement look bad, so it also doesn't fit the standard Hollywood formula. Thus the 1 star reviews from people promoting their socio-political agenda who don't like unscripted shows.

ID lays another egg
harvard-8442611 March 2024
This train wreck hasn't even aired publicly yet and somehow there are thousands of 10 Star reviews I saw this in a focus group and it literally made me want to get up and walk out. The bail jumpers are boring and uninteresting. The bounty hunters look and act like escapees from a local drug rehab/ homeless shelter.

ID is circling the drain. The fake as hell Natalia Grace miniseries, then they see fit to put that giant raving maniac Tweedy Bird Nancy Grace back on the air and now this steaming pile of boredom.

ID is quickly falling into TLC territory of garbage television.

What's next? My 600 pound next door felon?

Hide Your TV, Hide Your Remote. You want to miss this.
This is an absolute disaster of a show. The kind that would make you stand up and physically turn off your TV when it's on. The bounty hunters look like the fell out of rehab on their 6th stint. It's voyeuristic, messy, unappealing, poorly made and overall gross. Not sure why ID greenlit this, but I'll cancel my subscription if this gets picked up again. Also, given the current state do they really think this is ethical true crime? It's Jerry Springer meets Dog the Bounty Hunter with a dash of terrible producing. Not sure why they made this but I can say with great certainty what it lacks in entertainment and engaging the audience it makes up with its lack of ethics.
