Three Wives, One Husband

[JuneFromBethesda]

Anyone else watching this? On Ch4 now. Looks fascinating ...

Jeez, the newest wife really drew the short straw. She's pregnant and gets to stay at home looking after everyone else's kids!? Forget what I said about the appeal of a supportive community ...

Marina doesn't seem very happy.

None of the women on that sofa seemed happy.

Oh dear, looks like this wife has a working brain. That's not going to help her.

The body language on that sofa is screaming

'The goal is to become like god'

No words. Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh. What????

I'm turning over it's making me too angry. I can't handle him describing himself as god-like.

The one on the right would cheerfully murder him I reckon.

Don't do it Lydia!!!

(Sorry, I realise I'm posting too much but it's this or shout at the tv)

He's really not that much of a prize, ladies. You need to get out more.

Yuk yuk yuk all that needs to be said.

Happy future Mother's Day. Oh my god that is SO creepy.

Arf at the well-timed tumbleweed.

So the men get to be god, and people a planet, and the women get to be Christ-like which here I guess means suffer and endure? Yay.

I've come on mumsnet just to find this thread. The body language on that sofa! That poor woman looking after all the children! Jesus!

The whole thing is just horrid. But I can't seem to turn it off even though it's making me feel pukey.

I want to know how they afford it all

I'm guessing those houses in the Utah desert aren't particularly expensive.

You have to wonder at the prospective third wife's background, that this seems like an appealing option to her.

Oh leave the poor bloody child alone. Asking a four(?)-year-old if Daddy should marry another woman!?

Noooooo Joseph you should've stuck with your guns lil chap!!

So they're voteing to spend one less day with the prick

Was it Lydia who was talking about her family being that background? Mother one of 36 etc. And how nothing better than being the mother of nations......it's all a bit reminiscent of the women of the Reich isn't it? No higher calling than lots of babies.

How do they afford it all? I know living must be pretty cheap there but paying for all those kids and a 2000$ ring?!

That Abel seems like a right prick and wife three has her head screwed on
