The Hunting Wives (Netflix) -- S: Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman



The series, based on the book of the same name by May Cobb, centers on Sophie (Brittany Snow), a woman who moves from the East Coast to East Texas with her husband, Graham (Evan Jonigkeit). While in Texas, she crosses paths with the titular group, which is led by Margo (Malin Akerman), the wife of Graham's boss, Jed (Dermot Mulroney).

Sophie soon "becomes entranced with Margo Banks (Akerman), a seductive socialite, and her exclusive circle of affluent girlfriends, known as the Hunting Wives,"

This dropped on Netflix about 2 months ago and apparently it was one of their most watched shows of the summer. Supposedly it's very sleazy with lots of sex and nudity.

Starz was the original network, but I guess they lost the rights. Lionsgate sold it to Netflix.

It's 8 episodes

And Netflix renewed it for a 2nd season

I don't know if anyone here has the time to watch it, but just bringing it to your attention to add to your 10 year backlog.

My wife is watching it now by herself, and she never does that with scripted programming (just her Bravo and TLC reality crap), so I assumed it had to be really trashy.

I watched some of Ep 1 with the GF, it is really trashy with nudity. She watched the whole season, I did not watch any more.

Ep1 had a lot of Malin nudity. But she's never shied away from showing skin. You get more Brittany later in the season.

I guess I was the lone one here who watched the whole season. I'll probably rewatch it knowing S2 is coming.

It was a strange show. The first couple episodes sort of felt like a bad porno without the porn. It was sort of trashy and though there was some nudity and relatively explicit sex it seemed to be overly choreographed by a "intimacy consultant"

But it sort of switched to a mystery and it was fairly interesting and felt sort of like a Harlan Cohen type of show. All of the characters kinda suck but in the end I probably enjoyed it enough to watch a second seaspn.

That's always been kind of her not-so-secret weapon. Nudity in dramas, nudity in comedies, nudity in Superhero films. I wonder what sort of career she would have had if she were a prude.

It's one of those mysteries in life.
