'The Polygamist' follows a seemingly perfect marriage that hides betrayal, secrecy and emotional fallout.
"The Polygamist" will have you wondering whether commitment was ever meant to survive human behaviour, because what unfolds here feels like a case study in emotional damage dressed up as domestic life.
It’s giving "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" energy; it’s giving “Who hurt these people?” and somehow, we can’t stop watching.
Based on Sue Nyathi’s novel, the Netflix series throws viewers straight into the world of Joyce Gomora, played by Gugu Gumede, a woman who starts off looking like she’s got life perfectly packaged.
Beautiful home, powerful husband and polished image. The kind of life that looks good on the outside but is practically rotting beneath the surface.
