It’s not a moment too soon for a show about polyamory, right? Since The New York Times Style section ran an article on the jealousy-defying relationship practice last October, one open-minded production house from the hills of Seattle developed a lighthearted drama that showcases the lifestyle on the small screen. Family is a bi-weekly series centered around the triad of Gemma (Amber Rack) and her two live-in partners, Stuart (Eric Smiley) and Ben (Ernie Joseph). Created (and written, directed and edited) by a Seattle actress named Terisa Greenan, Family attempts, albeit clunkily, to normalize what Minx defines as “multiple, long-term, loving, committed relationships, with the full knowledge and consent of all parties involved.” Family tries to display polyamory as a regular part of some people’s lives instead of an inconceivable relationship status. The show apparently reflects Greenan’s own triad: her partner Larry has a part and her other partner Scott PAs.
