Meri Brown | ... | Self 51 episodes, 2010-2017 |
Kody Brown | ... | Self 38 episodes, 2010-2016 | |
Kody Brown, with his four wives Meri, Janelle, Robyn and Christine and their combined 17 children, attempt to navigate life as a "normal" family in a society that shuns their lifestyle. From their unconventional family structure and living arrangements to financial challenges, each half hour episode exposes the inner workings of a polygamist household, revealing the unexpectedly tight-knit and loving relationships between Kody's wives. The series also captures the intense dynamics surrounding a man juggling three wives while attempting to keep it a secret from the outside world- but the general public is not the only challenge that the Brown family unit is facing.

1st it's hard for me to believe 4 women wanted to marry Kody. didn't one want to leave and divorce. (?) it seems that all the wives are not happy, and he cannot give equal attention.
I could see this arrangement working only if wives wanted a home, children, girlfriends, and don't care about Kody.
so this newest and youngest seems to be his favorite. how many wives is enough for a man who isn't wealthy enough to support so many kids and homes.
Didn't they have to leave states, and relocate. (?)
But it is not interesting, the inter-personal relations. why, it's one man and 4 women. If you listen to Kody, he is the answer to every woman's desire. and takes care of all his women.
Information I have see relation to poly-marriage is that they go on welfare and take whatever public money they can get. Because keeping 3-4 house holds is expensive. Mormons practicing poly- marriage (it's illegal now in Utah & not condoned officially by the Church). and worse yet, boys are forced out bec they are considered competition for old men church elders. OK, he is not part of a commune or a church group.
