Is Boo, Bitch Appropriate For Kids Under 14?
Boo, Bitch does have a lot of language and inappropriate high school behaviors for teens, but there are a lot of worse shows out there. Unfortunately, Boo, Bitch isn’t that good. Both Colletti and Condor have charisma and great chemistry as best friends, but the story is weak.
While there is a spin of a ghost tale (though Julie and the Phantoms is way better), the old nerd turned popular trope is overplayed. This Netflix teen series had promise, but it fell flat.
