Esther Zuckerman New York Times Akerman’s performance makes the case that hypocrisy can be liberating. Like Snow’s wide-eyed Sophie, you’ll have trouble resisting her charms. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday It's completely out-there and a lot of fun. Rated: 3/4 Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe It’s extremely silly, and yet this week, despite having a lot to do, I somehow watched all eight episodes. Enjoy. Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba Netflix really wasn’t messing around when they labeled The Hunting Wives an “erotic thriller.” Keep that in mind when you decide to watch it. Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) The Hunting Wives dives into small-town chaos, creating a juicy nighttime drama worth staying home to binge-watch on a weekend when it’s too hot to go outside. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The Hunting Wives is a show you know is going to be ridiculous going in, and it doesn’t try to hide its sexy, at times campy personality under the sheen of a prestige drama.

Audience Member Sex In The County. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Brian C Incredibly accurate portrayal of Texans. I highly recommend this show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Maddie R Loved this show! Definitely an exotic thriller. Very different from my typical watch. A lot of different scenes and points of view throughout the show. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Naomi V not my typical type of show, watched for brittany snow. and the last episode made it completely worth it. super good and crazy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Flaming M I think this is supposed to be an homage to 70s sexploitation movies filled with cheesy stereotypes, gratuitous sex, and a plot necessary only because something needs to lead to a next character to falling further into caricature while her clothes fall off. It's so over-the-top funny I cannot decide if it is an homage or a parody. In a couple of years, folks will be convinced it was written by AI 1.0. Like those 70s sexploitation movies, this is best watched fast forwarding through the parts where one of the girls is not naked. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Brian D 72%. 7/28/25. Entertaining show to watch with your girl. Murder mystery. The depictions of these rich Republican wives is pretty funny, especially since there's so many lesbian relationships. Margo is a great character - really dominating her relationships. I did like the twists with the murder but the last episode went way too far and made the show seem even dumber than it already was. It was engaging enough for the rest of the season. 2/5 rewatch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
