I first watched this show about a year ago. It is a strange program about a man with plural wives. Now I am not for plural marriage, but watching these three very different women cope with living together as sister wives is like a car crash, you know you shouldn't watch but you can't help yourself. I think the dynamic between these three ladies really makes the show. You have the first wife, Barb, who is like a mother to all the other sister wives. Responsible, level headed and a peacemaker. The second wife, Nikki, is jealous, conniving and hates injustice. Then there is the third wife, Margene, who is the youngest of all three. She is the innocent, free spirited one of the bunch.
Watching Bill, the lucky husband, trying to manage and satisfy these three is entertaining and a little exhausting. My husband often says having one wife is hard enough, but to manage three....forget it, he'd rather be celibate.
I have chatted with my mom about this show a few times because I find it so interesting. Her take on the whole thing is it's society trying to desensitize us to it, so when we see it become more mainstream we won't be up in arms about it.
Have any of you ever seen it? What are your thoughts?
