Trash? You guys need to get out more.
The nuclear family isn’t the only possible option, and this show depicts the pluses and minuses of one of the other options. How does polygamy work? Are they nuts? Are polygamists misunderstood? Good? Bad? Can a man truly love many wives? This series explores these questions. An interesting thing here; if the world upended and a great number of males died off this would be one way of basing a society. Mankind has experimented with this many times worldwide. Even biblical figures had multiple wives. Oh wait, that’s where polygamists got the idea. Never mind.
Take the same show and cast it as the life and times of a biblical figure from ages ago and I’m sure that most who think it’s trash would revere it as historical, a beautiful examination and rendering of the time. Oh wait, that’s pretty much what they’re doing, it’s just recast to the modern era. Never mind.
