What critics are saying about The Hunting Wives

But “ The Hunting Wives ,” a series adapted by creator Rebecca Cutter (“Hightown”) from the novel of the same name, adds a new twist to this timeless formula. Originally produced for Starz, then acquired by Netflix, “The Hunting Wives” is a tale of red state-blue state culture clash, a premise that remains its most interesting element even after a dead body disrupts the proceedings. ... Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow star in Netflix's "The Hunting Wives," a very zany, very gay, MAGA-adjacent murder mystery.

'The Hunting Wives' Review: Netflix MAGA Murder Drama Is Zany

TV review Television.The Hunting Wives is adapted from the 2021 book of the same name by May Cobb, which I am minutes away from starting, and thus don’t know what the original intentions of either the author nor the series showrunner, Rebecca Perry Cutter, were. I only know that I couldn’t be happier with the fast, furious, full-blooded results, which exploit the chemistry of all its leads to the full and has enough wit and intelligence to keep it from descending into total melodrama while never shortchanging us on the glorious wildness. ... Blackmail! Murder! Horny Republicans! This starry bonkbuster is about as good as nonsense television gets.
