The Latest Netflix Obsession That's Got Everyone Talking!

Get ready for a show that's about to shake things up on the small screen! The new series, "The Hunting Wives", is set to challenge Disney's hit "bonkbuster" Rivals as the sexiest show on TV. This eight-part erotic thriller is based on American author May Cobb's bestselling book of the same name and promises to deliver full-frontal nudity, messy, no-holds-barred sex scenes, and steamy make-out sessions that will leave you breathless.

Like last year's surprise hit, The Hunting Wives is also adapted from a bestselling book and features several sex scenes that are guaranteed to set pulses racing - and probably best enjoyed alone. Pictured: Malin Ackerman and Brittany Snow (right) as Margo and Sophie in The Hunting Wives

The series follows Sophie O'Neill (played by Brittany Snow), a woman who leaves behind her stressful life in Boston to start anew with her husband and young son in small-town Texas. However, she soon finds herself drawn into the mysterious world of "The Hunting Wives", an elite clique of gun-toting, salacious socialites led by the enigmatic Margo (played by Malin Akerman). As Sophie becomes embroiled in their scandalous lives, she begins to lose sight of her family and friends, and finds herself at the center of a murder investigation.

But what really sets this show apart is its unapologetic approach to sex. In an interview with The Post, Malin Akerman spoke about her "wild" role in the series, admitting that she loves playing characters who are "big, free, and wild". She described the atmosphere on set as "playful" when filming the steamy lesbian love-making scene between Margo and Sophie.

The show's creator, Rebecca Cutler, was inspired by Cobb's original novel and has adapted it into a series that is both saucy and fun. In an interview with The Scholarly Note, Cutler revealed that she was "in awe of its flagrant horniness" and has translated this energy into a show that doesn't shy away from exploring the complexities of relationships and desire.

The eight-part series is based on American author May Cobb's erotic thriller of the same name and adapted by Rebecca Cutler, who revealed she was in 'awe of its flagrant horniness'.

One Netflix viewer described the show as a "90s soft-core porn film" but with "incredible actors and production value". Another reviewer noted that the TV show is even more erotic than Cobb's book because it gives Sophie "more agency in her relationship with Margo".

But what about the sex scenes? Oh, they're worth talking about! The series doesn't hold back when it comes to full-frontal nudity, messy, no-holds-barred sex, and steamy make-out sessions. In fact, one Reddit user confessed that she felt like a "creep for watching it on my tablet" so that her children wouldn't catch her "watching porn". However, another reviewer praised the show's unapologetic approach to sex, noting that it's more erotic than the book.

The show has also drawn comparisons to other popular series such as Big Little Lies and Desperate Housewives. But what sets "The Hunting Wives" apart is its willingness to push boundaries and explore themes of desire, relationships, and power dynamics.

So, if you're looking for a show that's a little bit saucy, a little bit scandalous, and a whole lot sexy, then look no further than "The Hunting Wives". But be warned: this show is not for the faint of heart!

Watch at Your Own Risk!

The series premiered in the US on July 21st and has already sparked controversy with its explicit content. However, fans of the book are eager to see how the show adapts the original story into a TV series.

In her review , Forbes critic Dana Feldman noted there hasn't been a 'book-to-screen adaptation this salacious' since British author E.L. James's erotic romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey

One fan noted that the book's official synopsis reads: "Sophie O'Neill left behind the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life but Sophie soon becomes bored and restless...". However, the show takes a darker turn as Sophie becomes embroiled in the mysterious world of "The Hunting Wives".

As one reviewer noted: "When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiraling out of control."

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to dive into the world of "The Hunting Wives" and experience the ultimate guilty pleasure!
