Created by writer John Scott Shepherd, Season One began as an impulsive “date” between suburban husband Jack and neophyte escort Izzy, which spins into a whirlwind three-way sexual affair including Jack’s wife Emma, whose been keeping secrets of her own. Over a span of just 10 days, their “arrangement” breaks free of its financial bonds to become something else entirely: A real romance, with real stakes, involving three real people. Season Two is about the complex realities of polyamory and “throupling.” What happens when this peculiar arrangement begins to fade? Can they prove their best, truest, happiest lives really are together, even when it’s complicated and difficult and when more conventional alternatives beckon?
