before we get to my top 5 reasons to watch, let’s check out the trailer.
top 5 reasons to watch the bondsman
- the idea — I loved the idea of this show and like I said above, was pretty much all in after a few seconds of watching the trailer
- the cast — I only knew Kevin Bacon and Beth Grant, but everyone was so good in their roles
- the delivery — there’s a good amount of levity provided from deadpan dialogue and it just really fits perfectly with the characters and the story
- the sfx — the demons were extra creepy and done in a way I don’t remember seeing before
- the set up for a second season — I’ll just be over here waiting for more
“You’re still a bounty hunter, but now, you hunt demons…for the devil.”
this show was something that Hubs and I both enjoyed, which is very rare. Â I know this will be a show that we’ll watch again so we can pick up the little things in the background.
Huge thanks to Prime Video for the invite to watch. Â All episodes of The Bondsman will release on 4/3/25!
