You just finished bingeing The Hunting Wives on Netflix and want to talk about Sophie and Margo's chemistry in Mandarin — but most HSK 2 material sticks to textbook topics.

Olivia and James spend 17 lines discussing The Hunting Wives, touching on the cast — Brittany Snow as Sophie O'Neill and Malin Akerman as Margo Banks — the flirtation that builds through shooting lessons and spin-the-bottle, and the show's five-week run on Netflix's global English Top 10 with over 20 million views. They also note the show's roots as a psychological novel.
