Press
Bounty Hunters, Jack Whitehall's crime/revenge fantasy, is grand fun. There's an obvious yet still delicious frisson to be had in the juxtaposition of Rosie Perez's angry Nuyorican finding herself in Wimbledon with Whitehall, his tiny electric car and his PhD in Flemish tapestry: much class war, some laughs, more missed chances.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 5th November 2017Bounty Hunters review: silly script & a lack of laughs
Rosie Perez can't save this odd-couple comedy-drama, co-starring (and co-written by) the overexposed Jack Whitehall.
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 26th October 2017Preview - Bounty Hunters
Jack Whitehall does what he seems to best at: playing middle/upper class fools who are clearly out of their depth.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 25th October 2017It is hard to imagine an more odd couple than Jack Whitehall in maximum mimsy mode and Do the Right Thing's spitfire Rosie Perez, the chalk-and-gelignite pairing at the heart of Sky1's madcap new action comedy. Whitehall plays bumbling student Barnaby who, while minding his dad's antiques shop, gets embroiled in a plot involving looted Syrian treasure. Enter Nina: a streetwise Brooklyn skip-tracer with some special skills and her own covert agenda.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 25th October 2017Review: Bounty Hunters, Sky 1
The Jack Whitehall quest for global domination continues with his new comedy-thriller in which he plays bookish boffin Barnaby who unwittingly gets sucked into the violent criminal underworld.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters review
Some of the issues are surely down to the establishing work the first episode has to do. So it's a good sign that after it airs you'll want to see what happens in part two. On that score, at least, job done.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters, Sky 1, review
Jack Whitehall coins another triumph.
Bernadette McNulty, i Newspaper, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters episode one was promising start
We'll see if Whitehall and Perez's combined forces of personality can sustain the already stretched story over another five episodes.
