“The Hunting Wives,” a series that began streaming on Netflix on July 21 last week, soared to the platform’s top spot in the United States.

"The Hunting Wives" follows PR exec Sophie O’Neil (Brittany Snow) as she moves from Boston to East Texas with her architect husband Graham (Evan Jonigkeit). She immediately finds herself out of place in an inner circle of wealthy Southern housewives who call themselves the "Hunting Wives."
