I first learned of The Hotwives on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast (episode 298 on earwolf.com - listen to it!) and was immediately hooked by the first episode. This is PREMIUM satire. I don't know how they got all these hilarious people to do a Hulu show, but I'm glad they did. I'm not here to provide spoilers, just to let you know that this show starts funny and keeps getting better. It walks the line between traditional and absurdist satire perfectly. I hope they do multiple seasons, but the fact that they got all this talent together to do even one is amazing. Oh, I just learned that I have to provide 10 lines of text for this review to go up. Okay, here's the AAA cast - Angela Kinsey (The Office). Andrea Savage (Funny or Die Presents). Casey Wilson (SNL). Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Concords, Bob's Burgers, stand up). Tymberlee Hill (Just Phe Phe being Phe Phe!). Danielle Schneider (co-creator, hilarious podcaster). They work together brilliantly, but I must admit that Amanda (Schaal) and Phe Phe (Hill) are my favorites.

As a central Florida native I just had to check this out. I knew nothing about this show when I watched the first episode but I was instantly hooked. What a great spoof on all those vapid housewife shows.

If you've ever watched any of the Real Housewives shows then you will get a kick outta this hysterical spoof. Casey Wilson (Tawny) reminds me of Gretchen from RHOC, she's waiting/hoping for her older husband to die while she bangs her fitness instructor Heath (Joey McIntyre). Angela Kinsey (Crystal) plays a pious wife who wears a huge cross around her neck and does whatever her husband tells her to. She reminds me of Ramona from the RHNY. Danielle Schneider (Shauna) is a riot and will surely remind you of Teresa from RHNJ. I don't normally like Kristen Schaal (Amanda) but in this she is funny as a former child star (she was in a Florida prune juice commercial as a child) who has a lot of issues. Andrea Savage (Veronica) is my spirit animal and she's amazing in everything she appears in. Shout out to Stephen Tobolowsky (Phil) as Tawny's rich older husband who is clueless to his wife's antics and Sterling Knight (Billy) as Veronica's high school boy toy.
..: I haven't laughed so hard in years, and some hidden truths about reality TV are revealed... The casting is great, the writing is great, the premises is great
I just got into it but am already looking forward to the next episode. Don't forget to check out the reunion episode – it's ridiculously hilarious... Very, very funny.

This is probably the funniest parody i have ever seen in my life. All the actors are so good- I would not have been able to keep a straight face while shooting this. Please please please who do I have to beg to get some more seasons of this show!!??
