The Hunting Wives

Why did Malik Ackerman agree to be in this poorly written soft-porn series, and nude no less? She is a very good actress that didn't need this kind of exposure to be relevent. Big mistake on her part. This is one of the worst series I have watched in a long time. Two episodes in, I'm going to skip to the last episode just to see who did it (althought it's pretty obvious). I've seen a couple of things with Brittany Snow, but it's like she's brain-dead in this one. OMG, such trash.

...it definitely would look like this. Yes, it's highly aestheticized garbage. But the show itself is self-aware of this to the point where you can't come for it accusing it of not being "poetic enough". I mean, it needs a very special kind of stomach for the "I'll have to swallow" situation and keep on watching it. Not Emmy material by any means or standards, but at least it's honest, albeit crude, on its own terms.

The Hunting Wives is packed with nudity, which I don't mind, but just know what you're getting. It's unintentionally funny thanks to over-the-top clichés. Think exaggerated Southern accents, shallow takes on religion, and hypocritical Christians played for cheap drama. I'm personally not a Southern Bible thumper, but even I found the portrayals lazy and insulting. The show wants to be edgy and mysterious but ends up predictable and hollow.

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.

The show begins with Sophie and her family that move to a Texas town. You watch Sophie navigate making new, bizarre friends with everyone carrying some sort of secret, trauma, or morally corrupt drama. Halfway through, it transitions from sex & scandal to a dark murder mystery. You won't be shocked when the truth is revealed, but watching the theories evolve will take you on a fun ride.
