A new true crime docuseries unpacks the saga of former Green Tree dentist Larry Rudolph, convicted of killing his wife on an African hunting trip.

The big picture: The three-part series dives into Rudolph's flashy persona and Pittsburgh's cultural touchstones, with KDKA clips, Kennywood Laser Loop references, and candid interviews from ex-employees who reveal Pittsburgh dental drama — affairs, rival dental practices, and rumored insurance grifts involving crocodiles.

Former coworkers don't hold back, sharing obvious disdain for Rudolph.

The intrigue: There are exclusive prison interviews with Rudolph and his former mistress, Lori Milliron, who was convicted of perjury and obstruction for her role as an accessory to the murder.

Flashback: Rudolph is serving a life sentence for fatally shooting his wife, Bianca, during a 2016 big-game hunting trip in Zambia.

💭 Chrissy's thought bubble: One of the more compelling moments in the series comes when jurors reveal they were initially leaning toward acquitting Rudolph, until his own testimony swayed them. Even prosecutors seemed caught off guard by the eventual conviction.

Where to watch: "Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari" is now streaming on Hulu.
