We’re taking a short break from Turkish dramas and diving into a deliciously messy American thriller — The Hunting Wives! In this week’s episode, Laura and Melissa break down Season 1, Episode 1, filled with Texas gun culture, suburban secrets, and major sapphic tension.

Join us as we talk about Brittany Snow’s character Sophie — the ultimate fish out of water — and her dangerously magnetic connection with Margot (played by the stunning Malin Åkerman). From PTA parties that double as NRA fundraisers to a seductive skeet-shooting lesson and a bar scene straight out of a romance novel, we’re recapping every chaotic, scandalous, and juicy detail.

We also unpack first impressions of Sophie’s husband (spoiler: he’s the worst), debate who the mystery victim might be, and share our theories on what’s next for this glamorous, gun-toting small-town cult of wives.
