The Hunting Wives, Season One
Netflix’s The Hunting Wives is equal parts murder mystery, erotic thriller, and small-town soap opera. The series follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), a newcomer to Texas whose attempts to blend into wealthy suburban life quickly spiral into booze-fuelled nights, tangled affairs, and a tight-knit clique of gun-toting housewives led by the magnetic Margo (Malin Åkerman). Beneath the glossy veneer of Southern hospitality lurk secrets, scandals, and… a dead body in the woods. There is plenty of sexual tension, high drama, and big, reckless characters. It has queer representation, entertains, and is totally binge-worthy.
Code of Silence, Season One
ITVX’s Code of Silence is a sharp, noir-tinged thriller elevated by Rose Ayling-Ellis’s standout performance as Alison; a deaf woman whose lip-reading skills pull her into a dangerous police investigation. What begins as a favour to an overworked surveillance team escalates into a tense game of cat and mouse with a violent gang. The show’s clever use of partial subtitles and sound design puts viewers inside Alison’s world, highlighting both the challenges and strengths of deaf communication without being preachy. Ayling-Ellis’s charisma and the show’s focus on under-represented perspectives make it fresh and compelling. Expect a mix of suspense, moral ambiguity, and subtle romance simmering under the surface.
