The Hunting Wives

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.

I binged watch this show in 2 days. I LOVED it. Malin who played Margo did a fantastic job in that role. I felt like I had a love hate relationship with her character. Britney who played Sophie also did a wicked job. I actually wish I didn't binge it so quick as I was sad when it was over! I'm already waiting for season 2. I was curious to see what the ratings would be so I looked them up and was shocked it wasn't at least at an 8/10. Guess people can complain about everything these days. Defs worth the watch!

Also this is my first review I've ever done. I liked it that much I wanted to share and up the ratings :)!

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.

If you need something to binge- this is it - but beware it's cringe and keep your finger near the ffwd button.

Every cliche you can think of about texans, or southerners for that matter, is weaved into this series. Cultural bias is putting it mildly.

Seems geared towards young adults and borders on propaganda. It's a guilty "pleasure" to watch and absolutely terrible.

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.
