A new kids show needed 'palpable evil' to work. The answer: a Disney-like conglomerate

Sometimes, your parent's real job is much more exciting than you could have ever imagined.

That's what Lisa (Priah Ferguson) and Sean (Jacobi Swain) discover in "My Dad the Bounty Hunter," the animated series out now on Netflix, when they decide to sneak into their dad Terry's (Laz Alonso) car after he's suddenly called in to work. It turns out when Terry is "out of town" for work, he's actually off-planet taking on jobs as the bounty hunter Sabo Brok.

The 10-episode first season sees the trio travel across a number of planets in pursuit of Terry's latest bounty, while navigating the strained relationship between father and daughter caused by his absences. Terry also discovers over the course of the season that his employer — a giant company known as the Conglomerate — is more than a little problematic.
