This comedy series, exclusive to Netflix, follows the oddball family life of a fictional YouTube star named Miranda Sings, a character created and portrayed by Colleen Ballinger, who also serves as an executive producer. Miranda is an incredibly confident, self-absorbed teenage singer/dancer/actor/model who is on the rise -- despite a complete and utter lack of talent. Miranda continues to luck into failing upward, fueled by her belief that she was born to be famous, even if no one else knows it yet.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Haters Back Off is bizarre, painful, and often times excruciatingly funny-yet the appeal of the YouTube transport doesn't quite carry over in the longer television format.

Kudos to Netflix for having the vision to elevate this antic, sometimes wise, often laugh-out-loud funny case of art imitating life imitating art to another rightful place. Go to Full Review
Michael Leaverton Village Voice 11/04/2016
It feels very good watching so unsympathetic a character (the sort who berates her mom for failing to give her an A-plus on her homeschool quiz) get her comeuppances - until, of course, it suddenly doesn't. Go to Full Review

Maybe in more adept hands, Haters Back Off might have been a beacon series for the uncool kids, à la Napoleon Dynamite or even Parks and Recreation. Go to Full Review
Sean Fitz-Gerald Thrillist 05/10/2019
What's great about Haters Back Off! is it expands a fun world in a way that helps a character leap from micro-content to the 30-minute format. Go to Full Review

[Colleen] Ballinger's series is gross, weird, and cringe inducing, but damn it's so funny. Go to Full Review

André M May 14 It was kind of annoing but not terribile See more Leandro T 01/13/2025 its like okay, but not dat good. See more JackieIsntGr8 08/18/2023 I really enjoyed this show. I found it super funny. It seemed self aware, perfectly satirical while still sticking to a storyline that was fun to watch. The cast is very talented, too, and the chemistry is perfect. See more Ferret 07/29/2023 Colleen Ballinger is a creep and child predator. The show should be banned from all platforms and Colleen should be sent to prison. See more SoMany P @Eppss 07/13/2023 Absolute guff. Creepy, dislikeable characters, cliched and obvious plotlines. It feels like something a weird 13 year old high on sugar might have written. See more 04/24/2020 Funny? It's decent. Good? Sure. An okay watch? If you like it See more Read all reviews
