Positives

The alternate animation style used for the flashbacks is extremely slick and adds some uniqueness to the series. The animation in general is solid and reliable.

The pacing of the episodes is good and it is easy to watch without getting too distracted.

Negatives

The storylines aren’t fleshed out as thoroughly which weakens it entirely. The reasons for Tess running away are fumbled and she never once discusses it with Lisa, who deserved the explanation the most.

In fact, there is very little character growth throughout the season and it lacks effort. Lisa continues to be a character that is fun, but can also be very grating at times.

Verdict

My Dad the Bounty Hunter season 2 is definitely a decent experience for children of a certain age but under more scrutiny, it does not secure passing marks. The season is a bit of a blur and will most likely be forgotten soon after the first watch.
