Meet Tawny, Shauna, Veronica, Phe Phe, Crystal and Amanda. Not your average housewives; they're not even on the level of "Real Housewives" stars. No, they are a notch above that. In this Hulu original -- a scripted parody of the popular franchise -- the six "hotwives" enjoy ultraglamorous lives in Orlando. They're the best of friends -- except when they're not. They share a love of shoes, plastic surgery and spending their husbands' money; everything else they fight about. And there's an Andy Cohen-type character in this parody as well, producer Matty Green, who tells trophy wife Tawny, "This is Orlando. You go big or you go back to Kissimmee." And go big they do, with fights, parties, shopping sprees. While the husbands appear now and then, it's mostly about the gals. Because, as bankrupt shopaholic Shauna explains, "Family is everything to me. And by `family,' I mean `shoes'."

Brian Moylan Guardian That's why the Hotwives seems like it could be the lowest form of comedy, making fun of something that is already a parody of itself. However, it's the astute attention to detail and the obvious love of the genre that saves it. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Hillary Busis Entertainment Weekly The series is amusing enough to qualify as a good summer diversion-if not exactly must-see TV. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Allison Keene The Hollywood Reporter Hotwives is knowing and funny, and a great showcase for many talented comedians who both star in it and appear as guests. Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider As a result, this parody shows just how little these characters care about one another, while revealing how toxic our relationship as viewers is with the Real Housewives. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast Hotwives has nearly the same tone, style, and feel as Burning Love, making it a wise choice for Hulu to push so aggressively. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend I have so few complaints about this show, I'm kind of shocked. Everything works for me, from the always-changing opening to the non sequitur "Coming Up" segments to the over-edited flashback clips. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
