Great show. It's probably one of the few shows I have really been able to get into that very rarely relies on action to drive the plot and keep you inticed. This show definitely seems to rely far more heavily on the pschological aspects of the characters and the general intrigue of this unorthodox marriage of a man and three women.

As a man, after I am able to get past the "how lucky is this guy, (*wink**wink**nudge**nudge*)" stuff, I really am interested at how well the show is able to capture the relationships between Husband and wife, sort of kalidescoped together from the various interactions with his various wives. On top of that, the fact that there are multiple women in this man's life, and it is accepted and not a taboo (at least within their family structure), it really seems to expose these primal aspects of the relationship between men and women in general.

These ideas are profound and in many ways ring true: that he definitely is attracted to multiple women, and even capable of truely loving multiple women if they will allow, while at the same time always coming back to his one true love, the one who made him the man he is, and forever took the throne in his heart, his first wife. Also, by engaging in this vauge sense of monogamy with his first wife, it almost creates this kind of taboo within the relative frame work of polygamy - picking a favorite. All the while these three women bonding with one another as sisters, sharing one man, and fighting the fire of jealousy, while supporting a joint-extended family structure, really highlights the crucial nature of being a stay-at-home mom. When done right, it is probably one of the toughest jobs around.

Compelling stuff, all within the confines of a relatively normal suburban lifestyle. Just a little sexier ;)
