Cowboy Bebop
Created by Christopher L. Yost
On Netflix
A stylish, action-driven space-noir procedural about three bounty hunters navigating episodic jobs while Spike's past looms, built on visual flair and hard-boiled tone rather than deep character work.
Long on style and short on cash, bounty hunters Spike, Jet and Faye trawl the solar system looking for jobs. But can they outrun Spike's past?
