The Hunting Wives

I saw the negative reviews on this and almost skipped watching it. I turned it on for background noise and ended up binge watching the whole show today. Some don't dig the nudity, I get it, but I don't mind it. Women have sex, people have sex, all sex lives are different and I thought it was about to be a crazy love story. This show turns out to be a who done it murder mystery kind of thing, and actually kept me on my toes after the first few episodes. I can usually predict what's going to happen in those types of scenarios because I watch too much TV but this show was pretty good at creating a Clue like situation. Im a country girl, and I was down for these badass women in this show. The ending was unpredictable and intriguing. I highly recommend you watch and decide for yourself. Brittany Snow in a role you've never seen her in before, and Malin Ackerman rocks her character so well it's hard to tell if she's acting.

Im on episode 3 and can't get over how the main characters makeup is literally grainy, cakey, chalky, powdery (in a bad way), and Drying. With technology, techniques, & cinematography - these ladies are gorgeous & Netflix should be able to emphasize that?!?! Whoever did this makeup is truly aging them.

Love this. Anyone who is offended needs to grow up! I binged this in 1 day!! The acting is amazing and Malin is fantastic. I did not read the book, I don't care. I couldn't get enough of this from the minute I started it. I was hooked. Ignore the bad reviews- some people can't handle a little scandal.

From beginning to the end, I couldn't stop laughing because it was SO cringy. The dialogue was diabolical. The acting was horrible. So many potholes, and over the top things that the characters did. But the thing I couldn't do was turn this show off because it was a guilty pleasure. Very entertaining!

Every character in the show I hated besides Wanda. I don't understand how someone made this show and produced it and didn't find anything wrong about it. But the 7 is a little bit high but I really enjoyed the ridiculous storyline. But the acting omg 😂😂

Sophie O'Neil, a former editor-in-chief of a glossy magazine, moves with her husband and son from New York City to a quiet town in East Texas. There, she meets local socialite Margot Banks, who runs an exclusive club for women - filled with cocktails, skeet shooting, and endless gossip. Enchanted by the atmosphere, Sophie gets pulled into their glamorous world, but things take a dark turn when a young girl's body is found on the edge of the woods. Soon, the club members become prime suspects.

Pros:The biggest asset here is the cast. Malin Åkerman carries the entire show on her shoulders - she brings both charm and emotional authenticity to the role. The small-town setting, with its undercurrent of secrets, is visually well-crafted. Cinematography and atmosphere are on point.

Cons:Unfortunately, that's where the strengths end. Rebecca Cutter, known for Hightown, falls short this time. What could've been a gripping psychological thriller turns into a soap opera with forced drama. The mystery is drowned in shallow melodrama, and there's little to no chemistry between the actors.

This is no Bad Sisters, no Why Women Kill, and certainly no Big Little Lies. The attempt to blend genres results in a show that looks polished but feels hollow. It all rests on Åkerman's charisma and decent direction.

As for the explicit scenes - nothing groundbreaking. This isn't The L Word, and today's audiences need more than that to be surprised.

Verdict:A disposable watch for one evening. Stylish but shallow. Don't expect depth, suspense, or memorable characters.
