Sister Wives (2010)
Kody Brown, and with his three wives Meri, Janelle and Christine and their combined 13 children, attempt to navigate life as a "normal" family in a society that shuns their lifestyle. From their unconventional family structure and living arrangements to financial challenges, each half hour episode exposes the inner workings of a polygamist household, revealing the unexpectedly tight-knit and loving relationships between Kody's wives. The series also captures the intense dynamics surrounding a man juggling three wives while attempting to keep it a secret from the outside world - but the general public is not the only challenge that the Brown family unit is facing.
