Apparently, there is a new binge-worthy sensation on Netflix that viewers find “outrageous” yet “so juicy it hurts.”
The eight-part series The Hunting Wives depicts Sophie, played by Brittany Snow, who moves from Boston to the fictional town of Maple Brook in East Texas with her family looking for a fresh start. There, she’s pulled into the world of a mysterious socialite and her group of wealthy friends.
Full of unexpected twists, the enchanting thriller offers a world of deadly secrets—and after a body is discovered, the newcomer is warned she has ‘no idea what these people are capable of.’
The rest of the cast members include Malin Åkerman, Dermot Mulroney, Chrissy Metz and Katie Lowes.
It didn’t take long before the series reached the streaming platform’s Top 10 charts and received a nearly perfect score of 80% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
It turns out that fans have found The Hunting Wives so intriguing and provocative that the opinions on whether it should be on Netflix or not are divided.
“Talk about a plot twist! I love when I think I have a show figured out and it throws me for a loop,” one person commented. “Mind-blowing. Twists. Texas. 10/10,” another added.
Some, however, found the plot to be rather vulgar, with one person writing, “Vulgar viewing. I couldn’t make it past the first 20 minutes of the first episode.” Another added: “In those 20 minutes a woman uses paper towels as a maxi pad, and makes eye contact with a young man while he is m**turbating in front of his girlfriend. Gross.”
Although the series has stirred controversy, creator Rebecca Cutter isn’t backing down.
“It’s so fun, and juicy and s**y. Everyone is behaving so badly,” she told the New York Post. “I wanted to do an exploration of women behaving badly, unapologetic s**ual conquest running rampant, and just something fun.
“I think there’s a fantasy of freedom or power that maybe we don’t feel so much as middle-aged women.”
Cutter added: “I just think TV has evolved.
“It’s rare. I also think it’s real. I have single friends [who are] women of a certain age… young men always are interested in them… that is a very real thing. And so, I think that that’s cool to show.”
The series is so gripping, the fans are praying for a second season.
The Hunting Wives is available to stream on Netflix now.
