My thirst for poly romance stories is never satiated cause even if it sometimes happens in plots, it's always in shows I find mediocre at best 😔
The only ones who did it right for me so far are all in the past
Ranked by my personal poly satisfaction:
Sense8 slow burn as kind of side line to the main plot to 2 happy wholesome throuples of different styles -> one classic m/f/m with surprise bi/pan men and one m/m/f gay couple with female third in a passive sexual way for her which is an interesting dynamic
3 Will Be Free love how they got together and lived like that openly. the ending is a happy one just with one switching to a more open option
Siren it was so good with monster fucker bonus but then they had to make them ooc in the last season and breake them up for forced heteronormative reasons.... cause we can't have nice things on public TV... but till then it was peak
Three of Us love how they got together and navigated as well. ends unfortunately with the cliffhanger of them possibly meeting again after a big fallout break up, they could get back together... it was supposed to become a full produced series from there but idk if that will ever happen. it depends on the views and audience
Unlock Your Heart is only an implied after canon outcome but the development is delicious messy. not in the jealousy sense. more that the one who tried to manipulate a couple to split falls for both of them and they for her lol
Honorable mentions of okayish stories I never finished but the poly part was neat I guess
Deep Night happy poly end for side story but very last minute
Two Husbands One Wife if a dorky japanese romcom was poly
This post is prompted by the new possible poly shoutout for Blackout.
I started the first episode a while ago before I knew of the possible 3some outcome but I already didn't like the beginning of a couple being close to breaking up cause they got bored of eo 😔 and now knowing of that twist of them getting a third, it heavily reminds me of the real life throuple ThrupleDaily, they had a similar getting together but their third just broke up with the og couple now after years 🙈💔 Besides that, Blackout sounds more like a casual 3some situation than poly? (there is a difference, a 2some ons or fwb doesn't automatically make a couple either)
