Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the main character in this edgy polygamy drama has three different families with three different wives -- but even with all of those families, very little in the show is appropriate for kids. Instead of focusing on how one man juggles three families, it focuses on how he satisfies his three wives. Everything else -- his job, his kids -- is less important. It's important to note that although this show is about polygamy, the characters are not Mormons.

Sexual Content

There's so much sex that sometimes it feels like it's the only thing the show is about. They talk about it, they do it, they bare it. Scenes have included Bill's naked butt, an erection shown through a blanket, and children talking about erections.

Violence

Guns are displayed here and there; a husband is poisoned by his wife; verbal jousts abound.

Language

Some minor-league cursing ("damn").

Social Behavior

One husband, three wives, and a father-in-law with a 14-year-old partner, not to mention the usual dysfunctional family relationships aired like too much dirty, tawdry laundry.

Consumerism

One shopaholic wife has practically memorized all of the popular mail-order catalogs, reeling off labels like a doctor does medical jargon. But her behavior is portrayed negatively.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

So many other vices are indulged that there's little room for run-of-the-mill substances and dependencies, though the main character takes Viagra.
