Screenwise Verdict

Look, this is a show about a married couple who decide to date a grad student together. It's TV-MA for a reason.

The premise is inherently adult, and while the show apparently handles consent and communication better than you'd expect from a comedy about polyamory, it's still loaded with sexual innuendo, drug references, and relationship dynamics that require serious emotional maturity. The 7/10 IMDb rating suggests it's fine as adult entertainment—not groundbreaking, but watchable if you're into relationship dramedies.

For parents? This is a hard pass for anyone under 17, and even then, you'd want to be sure your older teen is ready for frank conversations about non-monogamy, infidelity, and adult relationships. It's available on free streaming platforms like Tubi, so be aware it could pop up in recommendations.

Bottom line: Adults only. If you're looking for something to watch with your high schooler, literally anything else would be better.

Age Fit

This is strictly for adults and possibly mature 17+ teens who can handle frank discussions about non-monogamous relationships, sexual content, and adult themes. Not appropriate for family viewing or anyone younger.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

TV-MA rated polyamory comedy-drama with sexual innuendo, profanity, and drug references. While it explores relationship communication and consent in a non-exploitative way, the premise and content are decidedly adult. The show doesn't model age-appropriate behavior for younger viewers and centers on infidelity and non-monogamous relationships as comedic fodder.

Imaginative

The premise itself—a married couple entering a three-person relationship—is unconventional and explores modern relationship dynamics in a way that breaks from traditional rom-com formulas. However, it's still fundamentally a relationship dramedy that doesn't particularly inspire creative thinking or exploration beyond its central conceit. It's more 'unusual premise executed straightforwardly' than genuinely imaginative storytelling.

Safe

TV-MA rating, recommended for 17+ by Common Sense Media. Contains sexual innuendo, references to touching genitals, casual drug and alcohol references, and profanity. While there's reportedly no explicit nudity or violence, the entire premise revolves around adult sexual relationships and infidelity. Completely inappropriate for children and would be uncomfortable if stumbled upon by younger viewers.

Enriching

For mature audiences, the show does tackle consent, communication in relationships, and the complexities of modern partnership. It could spark meaningful conversations about monogamy, honesty, and relationship boundaries. However, it's primarily entertainment-focused comedy-drama rather than deeply insightful. The 7/10 IMDb rating suggests it's decent but not exceptional. Limited skill-building or personal growth opportunities beyond relationship dynamics.
