Netflix’s The Hunting Wives Isn’t Just Messy, It’s Morally Bankrupt
Spoiler alert: Netflix’s "The Hunting Wives" is not the show you watch when you want to feel good about humanity.
It isn’t uplifting, redemptive, or even morally coherent. The drawling Southern accents and sprawling estates may trick you into expecting Hallmark fluff, but this story has no interest in comfort. It opens by flirting with weighty themes—faith versus secularism, red versus blue America, one worldview colliding with another—only to abandon them almost immediately. Maybe it's because Netflix knows shows with more overtly conservative values (Yellowstone, being the obvious giant) are thriving that The Hunting Wives attempts to appeal to a crowd that embraces guns, Christianity, and overall more conservative values, but it never quite lands the shot.
