Okay, I don't even know where to begin. So, let's start at the beginning.
Jack and Emma are a perfectly 'normal' couple and he takes his dumb brother's advice who later ends up getting divorced btw to hire an escort. Enter Izzy.The girl that Jack finds easy to talk to and suddenly they're making out. Goes and tells his wife and she decides to meet her and then it's revealed that she is bisexual and makes out with Izzy too.
Their sex life is saved. The end.
You thought? After the first episode, everything that follows is a slow trainwreck that makes absolutely no sense at all.
Izzy decides she's in love with them. Izzy who has never been with a woman before or in a romantic relationship (as far as we can tell) suddenly is in love with 40 somethings.
Let's assume that she is, in fact, in love. That does not change that each of them want fundamentally different things in life evidenced by the fact how each of them up and leave for a couple of days to a couple of months or more at different points in time.
The dynamic is inherently flawed because they didn't come together at the same time. But this show proceeds to shovel twists and turns which are completely unnecessary failing to acknowledge what any of them truly want.
Emma walks out on two jobs that she loved. Same goes for Jack. They ultimately bend over backwards to please Izzy which makes 0 sense.
Even the show questions their relationship. Polymonogamy is a contradiction in itself. Izzy never gets to have all of those firsts that Jack and Emma did and is clearly 20 years younger so she will be stuck with them. When she's 40, they'll be 60 and no longer in the dating pool.
But hey, who cares right? We made a show on polygamy so let's make it as silly as possible.
I dunno why I kept waiting for it to get better but I legit lost hope after the second season. Anyway, save yourself. And watch Dark or something.
