Re: High Concept vs New High Concept
I don't understand it either for the same reason. All this togetherness with COVID -- me, him, the teen -- is a relationship challenge on some days. Imagine a poly relationship during COVID lockdown? Ha!
I agree -- better as a feature. The situation with the poly family's kids down the street concerned me the most. After they moved away, my kid shared some things she witnessed. She's always done this since grade school -- keeps mum on some of the odd things she's seen going on at her friends' homes because she assumed I'd stop her from going to their homes. And she's correct. But when those connections ended, she tells all.
Anyway. What she told me (and what her friend told me when venting) sort of confirms my first impression of Wife 2. She came off to me as a con woman. Add in information my kid spilled after they moved away, my impression was that she saw this couple as a road to financial security (which she didn't have before). Perhaps I could massage it into a thriller.
As for Big Love, I half watched a couple of episodes and lost interest. However, late during one of my insomnia nights, I watched a documentary that followed a few poly relationships. One of which called itself a "pod" with multiple relationships inside and outside the core relationship.
What I found weirdly fascinating was how they'd develop all these "rules" and the fallout when someone was perceived as breaking the rules. Funny in a dark way but there was a lot of emotional angst and stress. I have no idea why anyone would choose that.
