'The Hunting Wives' Creator Defends 'Fun' Netflix Show: 'Everyone Is Behaving So Badly'
The creator of The Hunting Wives is defending the series.
Showrunner Rebecca Cutter spoke to The New York Times about the Netflix series, which stars Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman.

“It’s so fun, and juicy and sexy. Everyone is behaving so badly,” Rebecca told the publication in an interview published on Wednesday (July 30). “I wanted to do an exploration of women behaving badly, unapologetic sexual conquest running rampant, and just something fun.”
Rebecca went on to talk about Margo, played by Malin, and how she represents a shift in the trends of TV characters.
She told the publication, “I think there’s a fantasy of freedom or power that maybe we don’t feel so much as middle-aged women … I just think TV has evolved. The first anti-heroes were all men. Now, there can be more female anti-heroes and I certainly think Margo Banks falls into that category.”
If you didn’t know, the book version of The Hunting Wives had a very different ending.
