Is that the most surprising case of the season?
If they want to combine emotions with twists and turns, Hunting Party Episode 1, Episode 7 is twisted on Ted Bundy Case. This is an interesting one!
We also have to discuss Silo 12 Mystery and Shane’s family drama.
The W husband case is the most complicated of this season
The hunting party features some weird serial killers, but Mark Marsden is the most complex.
I love planning my wedding day, so at first glance, he seems to be every girl’s dream. He wrote his vow and decorated the honeymoon suite.
That’s why it looks so cold that he murdered the bride on wedding night. He never reacted to her death from poisoned champagne and ended her by drowning her in a massive bathtub.
Who planned something so cold?
Obviously, a man so afraid of rejection would rather kill his wife before he could get close to him to learn flaws and reject him.
This is an interesting theory, which stems from a teenager breakup.
But almost everyone has experienced the heartbreak of a teenager and most of us have not become serial killers. You can’t blame everything you have in the past.
Mark Marsden seems so charming that police believe the first two deaths were accidents. He was not arrested and sent to a pit until his third bride died.
Naturally, he went out again, wanted a new bride, or changed his plan?
This case reveals why women are attracted by serial killers
Carol Miller, the next victim of Mark Marsden, does not meet the profiles of other victims. She looks older and shockingly Shane recognizes her from the workers in the pit.
Shortly after Carol’s husband passed away, she needed extra money. She helped Mark’s treatment in the pit, which involved exposure therapy. In his case, it means re-engineering and getting married 100 times.
This means that treatment in the pit once again provides the serial killer with the next victim.
But these therapy videos show something more disturbing. Carol falls in love with Mark Marsden.
She suffers from hybridism, a condition where women are obsessed with male serial killers.
Ted Bundy and Charles Manson received love letters and had groups.
Carol Miller set up a Reaper’s Elimination Forum dedicated to fans of serial killers.
Shane and I were with me. How could she love that psychology, what is this world?
Carol does think Mark has changed and their relationship is real. It is painful to see how childish she is. She thought her love changed him a bit like a savior.
Shane thinks their relationship is like Bonnie and Clyde, but Carol is not as cunning as Bonnie and does not want to commit crime. She just wants to be loved again and feels that she shares a specific abandonment problem with Mark.
While I wanted to shake her and hit her, she realized that Mark still recited the same vows as before, but it was still heartbreaking. She now knows that she is not unique. Women never want to be like that.
Hunting Party Episode 1 Episode 7 Allows Josh McKenzie to shine and become a VIP
Josh McKenzie was never allowed to show his full potential on La Brea. He has some glorious moments, but it’s an ensemble.
At the hunting party, he showed Shane’s level from the beginning, “Mark Marsden” unearthed Shane’s family history and pit.
In the first few episodes, Shane is portrayed as a safe and easy-to-convey good guy. Now, we learn that he has a dark past like everyone else.
Shane is not aware of any serial killer that has not yet appeared, but he recognizes the latest victim, Carol Miller.
He seemed to care more about rescuing her than usual, making me wonder if she was just a worker in the pit or if she was his family.
We haven’t started to unravel his family drama. Shane visited Dr. Dulls to collect information, and he had nothing to do with him.
Nothing was confirmed, but saying it was complicated didn’t give me the best feeling.
This means Sarah Dulles has the right to be questionable, but Shane obviously wants to share something with her.
This mysterious person attracted me, and Josh McKenzie’s performance made me guess he was a good guy, dark or something in between.
Hunting Party team demonstrated their growth as friends and found family members
In order for the audience to remain invested, the process must be more than just a plot case. They need to care about the role and their relationships.
The Hunting Party works because it is a smaller team. Only three of them were in the fields, and Oliver and Morales handled things from the base.
Bex, Shane and Hassani have become a family. They protect each other in battle and learn to rely on each other.
Depending on the situation, they can be cruel and honest or joke with each other.
They usually interact with Morales and Oliver only over the phone, except for a few briefings before, until the episode had some briefings, when the entire team worked together to distinguish how Mark Marsden knew Carol.
It was pleasant to watch Hasani’s reaction to the shorthand of Oliver and Morales’ development.
They work together so often and are so competitive in solving cases quickly that they can understand each other in just a few words.
Shane seems to know their terminology, and he and Morales often answer questions at the same time, making others laugh.
This team often reminds me of the Eternal Era team, which also starts with strangers. Three people are in the field and some others are at the base. However, they also built a strong bond.
If the series has time to develop, the hunting party team has the potential to become a close family, and hopefully it will have a chance.
Oliver, Bex and Hassani form an uneasy alliance to study silos 12
Poor Bex. She cut her work. Neither Oliver nor Hassani were keen on working together, but Bex insisted on putting their collective thoughts together for the greater good.
She sounds like a mom, mediating a new rival teenage boy and forcing them to have fun. Of course, she raised a teenager, so maybe she learned these skills from it.
She and Hassani became so close that he knew he could trust his intuition, even if he couldn’t believe Oliver completely.
Oliver bargained by sending three access codes to Silo 12.
None of them were ready for what they found. It opens up another can of worms and a whole new mystery.
What kind of experiments did the government conduct on these prisoners, and have they kept taking them in and out of the pit?
We have discussed many pit experiments that worsen prisoners’ killing intuitions, rather than helping them.
After seeing the amount of blood in silo 12, we are sure that pits do more harm than good.
We are happy to learn the motivations behind these experiments and who freed the prisoners.
We only have three episodes of Hunting Party Season 1 left, and we hope these answers are resolved.
