Netflix just dropped a new eight-part series called “The Hunting Wives,” and we’ve got one question: Is anyone actually watching this thing?
The show follows Sophie, a fresh transplant from Massachusetts, as she gets pulled into the seductive, scandal-soaked lives of a group of wealthy East Texas socialites who call themselves — wait for it — The Hunting Wives.
There’s booze, secrets, affairs, murder, and yes, apparently guns.
It stars Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect) and Malin Åkerman (Watchmen), and it’s got all the steamy drama and Southern Gothic flair Netflix can pack into 55-minute episodes.
But here’s the thing: is it any good for folks who actually know what a deer blind is?
Let’s be real — Hollywood doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to portraying hunters.

Most of the time, we either get the backwoods buffoon or the villain with a rifle. So is The Hunting Wives just more anti-gun fluff dressed up in designer camo?
Or is there something weirdly bingeable about this trashy tale? What are your thoughts? Did you hit “play” out of curiosity?
Did your wife rope you in — and now you kinda want to see what happens next?
Or did you bail halfway through episode one because you couldn’t take another wine-fueled monologue about murder and manicures?
Drop your thoughts. Is The Hunting Wives a guilty pleasure… or just a bad shot?

The series promotes the rhetoric that border security is racist while implying that almost everyone in Texas is armed and itching for a fight. One episode makes it appear that Texas has no restrictions in place towards purchasing and owning a firearm and you can walk into store, slap down your credit card and walk out locked and loaded. Plus the woman that purchased the firearm has a felony record and in Texas she would have been flagged and denied.
