The Hunting Wives Season 1 Recap: Rebecca Cutter and May Cobb gave us Bonnie Raitt's something to talk about

In this episode, we deep dive into the soapy sapphic thriller, The Hunting Wives. Based on a book by May Cobb and led by showrunner Rebecca Cutter, this Netflix summer binge series has everyone talking - and for good reason!

At the heart of the story are two very complicated women, Sophie and Margo, played brilliantly by Brittany Snow and Malin Ackerman. Sophie, portrayed as an outsider grappling with her identity, finds herself drawn to Margo's seemingly carefree and untethered lifestyle. As we explore their dynamic, we uncover Sophie's internal struggle with control and desire, and Margo's influence on Sophie and so many others around her. We even see some similarities to our own dynamic - listen to hear how a 'Sophie' (Kate) and a 'Margo' (Carinn) try to unpack the psychology of this show.

We also delve into the show's steamy scenes, examining how they contribute to the narrative, and discuss the mystery and thriller elements that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Additionally, we ponder the show's mass appeal, trying to understand why it captivates us so thoroughly. Join us as we unravel the layers of this show and its characters.
