HBO's There Is No “I” in Threesome is a wasted opportunity to explain polyamory

Slate

Jan Oliver “Ollie” Lucks' documentary on his open relationship "squanders the opportunity to produce a documentary that could have helped people understand nonmonogamy, the forms it can take, and its inherent challenges, in favor of what Ollie calls his 'selfie film,' complete with a splashy final-act twist," says Mikala Jamison. "While some open relationships implode—you know, just like some monogamous ones—yet another portrayal of messy nonmonogamy only reinforces the notion that this style of relationship is necessarily doomed from the start."
