TV Obsessed Podcast

Episode 3 of Hunting Wives is the kind of episode that feels like a mid-season finale —messy, dark, and packed with moments that make you yell at the screen. We get a shocking time jump, a shooting, escalating power plays, and an ending that completely reframes Sophie’s role in this story. Melissa and I break it all down—from Margot’s manipulation tactics to Jill’s deeply unsettling relationship w...

Join us as we talk about Brittany Snow’s character Sophie — the ultimate fish out of water — and her dangerously magnetic conn...

We’re back! 🎉 In this bridge episode, Laura and Melissa open up about the future of the podcast. After two years of dissecting Turkish dramas (and falling head-first into the chaos of As the Crow Flies ), we realized we needed to expand our scope. Why? Because the reality of watching Turkish shows outside of Turkey means sketchy streaming sites, glitchy subtitles, and two-and-a-half-hour episodes...

It's the series finale (confirmed: Netflix canceled it, we’re grieving), and while we didn’t get the resolution we wanted, we did get chaos, fainting, mafia vibes, and a wine-drenched phone. What more could we ask for? Oh right…Yusuf and Aslı together. In this episode: Kenan finally admits he's toxic and Lale says “no, it’s just love” in the most frustrating anti-growth moment of the series. Lale...

The writers might have packed up early, but we’re still here. Somehow everything is spiraling while also stalling. It's a weird combination of filler scenes, heavy trauma drops, sudden baldness, and questionable professional decisions. Let’s get into it. In this episode: Lale opens the episode dancing and yawning on a balcony, which sets the tone. Zero context. Big filler energy. She and Aslı are...

Things are picking up steam. Everyone is spiraling. Lale’s still pretending she’s going to France. Kenan is out here auditioning for a Lifetime movie.

Nepo News Baby with a printout of Yusuf’s DMs. In this episode: Müge nails her first newscast, gets applause, and promptly demands a private bathroom. K...

This episode gave us filler, fire, and full-on delusion. Somehow everything happened and nothing happened at the same time. Here's what went down. In this episode: Lale casually plans to move to Nice with her ex-husband and kids, and forgets to tell Kenan. He finds out when he overhears her breaking her lease. When confronted, Lale says the words no partner wants to hear during a breakup: “I’m a m...

The mess is messing , y’all. We’re back and diving headfirst into the most chaotic episode of the season so far, complete with sex tape scandals, tantrums, corporate takedowns, and the steamiest “shut up and kiss me” hallway scene we’ve ever seen. This week we unpack: The weirdest reveal ever: A 12-year-old girl is behind the viral sex tape rumors… for the followers?! (Law & Order SVU energy,...

Buckle up, scandal lovers. Episode 3 brings us office whispers, viral rumors, an alleged sex tape, an unbothered Emre, and a CEO who’s Limewiring her way into HR violations.

Everyone at the station thinks Lale made a sex tape with news bro Emre after sh...
