Oh, OK, so a couple in a stagnating relationship go down the open route. Hardly a novelty these days, unless you're a conservative mid-70s living in a small little town. How very handy that one of them is a therapist and can handle the awkwardness of the situation. And oh so very charming they brief their children about their arrangement. Because we all live in an uber modern and liberated world. And they can both find partners oh so easily and simultaneously so no one feels left out.
And then the writers decide to go down the morality route. Jealousy starts creeping in, society starts judging, one gets more serious with the extra marital thing, whereas the other is more superfluous about it like a teenager. The teenagers surprisingly are more adults than the parents, but anyway.
As an idea, it was interesting in the first 2 episodes, the next 2 were a bore and bog standard approach. Here's hoping the rest pick up and surprise.
