I've only seen a few of his documentaries, but they have all been solid, especially the Westboro Baptist one. I will watch the polymory one for sure.
First two were great stuff, the adoption one wasn't as good but still enlightening on the whole open adoption process.
Felt so bad for the husband in the poly relationship. It was clear he just loved his wife so much he was willing to do anything for her. All while she was just a selfish piece of shit who o ly cared about doing whatever she wanted.

Glad it wasn't just me who reached this conclusion, fuck it was just so sad and tragic watching him go along with it. Maybe he's actually perfectly happy with the way things are and I'm just projecting, but the guy seemed so crushed and dead inside when he talked about it. Worst part was when he tiptoes around the subject of actually joining in with her and the other guy... I refuse to believe that it's somehow never occurred to her like she claims! Then he just gets totally shut down anyway. So harsh.
Yep, the woman was just a selfish arsehole who only, truly cared about her own happiness.
Adding a third should be a mutual thing, a relationship that gives something to both partners. Also the way her and the guy acted was disgusting, like a couple of love sick teenagers who didn't want to deal with the responsibilities of being adults.
Also she said she wouldn't want to take away from her husband but we already knew that her and her boyfriend tried to get more days allocated to them but his wife put a stop to it so she is full of shit.
I am close friends with two married couples that started doing open relationship the last couple of years. One is the happiest they've been in years and very relaxed and secure.
The other is getting divorced after a family vacation where mom brought her boyfriend and his kids and everything unraveled.

It's definitely not for everyone. But then again, neither is monogamy.
That was extremely difficult to watch but it is probably his best piece of work in quite sometime.
That lady in the wheelchair got to me quite a bit .... they all did.
Yeah that was super depressing. Especially when he suggested joining in or even just watching and she was like "Yeah...no."
Only watched the first one so far. It was really awkward when the husband floated the idea of joining in but the wife was having none of it, I assume there was more going on there tbh, a few skeletons they didn't want to air. Actually I was surprised at the lack of bisexuality in general given some of the make-up of some of the relationships, they made polyamory seem quite square. I don't think it was ever said, but they seemed to concentrate exclusively on purely heterosexual relationships except for that food party thing, and mainly on 1-on-1 encounters, even with the thruple that shared a bed for years the way they explained it was that they took turns because threesomes weren't for them. I was expecting more pretzelingus action. Disappointed.
Didn't realize he was coming out with a new series, i'll watch these for sure. When I was younger I was in a polyamorous relationship for several years, so that should be quite interesting. Not really a relationship dynamic i'd want these days, but with my partner back then it worked out very well.
Being poly, I can tell you that most people I know and meet at discussion groups and events are pretty "boring" beyond the fact that they engage in multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships.
Like me, I've got two people I have ongoing relationships of that sort with. I see one of them more often than the other due to just the nature of our schedules and lives, but otherwise, I basically just have two separate but otherwise "normal" relationships.
Came in to see what people thought of the dead-inside poly husband, completely unsurprised it's the main subject haha. I felt so bad for him, dude needs to get out of there. He seems so, so unhappy.
Interesting, that's definately the impression they gave in the show too. I guess since he's already covered swingers in previous programmes they were more going for the relationship angle. Still, it was somewhat surprising that the thruple who shared a bed seemed to be strictly 1-on-1 heterosexual now.
