The Take
This is TikTok adultery pageantry dressed in modest skirts and marketed as bold truth-telling. Infidelity and swinging get framed as personal liberation while the Mormon backdrop serves only as exotic set dressing for drama.
The Verdict
The show packages real-life mess as entertainment without any moral weight or consequence. Ancestors would file restraining orders.
Skip it. Watch 'The Bear' instead — craftsmanship and family over catfights.
