TV host shares why she won't watch The Polygamist
On her Facebook page, Tope Mark Odigie shares why she won’t be watching the series, despite the hype surrounding it.
Her words on her Facebook post read:
“UNPOPULAR OPINION: I won't be watching The Polygamist. Not because I'm afraid of the story. Because I'm protective of my mind. The series has 22 episodes, averaging about 25–30 minutes each. That's roughly 9–11 hours of my life spent consuming a story about deception, infidelity, betrayal, manipulation, family dysfunction, and generational trauma.
“My question is simple: Why would I spend 10 hours watching dysfunction when the lesson can be learned in 10 seconds?"Cheating destroys trust. Secrets destroy families. Character matters." Lesson learned. Next.
“Maybe I'm different, but I don't consume entertainment just because it's entertaining. I believe your future is shaped by what repeatedly enters your eyes and ears. Every movie, every song, every conversation is feeding something. Hope or fear. Possibility or limitation. Faith or suspicion.
“And here's what concerns me: When you spend hours watching stories of unfaithful husbands, toxic relationships, betrayal, and deception, your mind doesn't simply "move on." It files the information away. Then confirmation bias kicks in.

“Your brain starts looking for evidence. "Could this happen to me?" "Is this happening already?" "Can men really be trusted?" "Can marriages really last?"
“What repeatedly enters the mind eventually influences expectations. I'd rather spend those same hours watching stories of courage, innovation, prosperity, leadership, resilience, restoration, and people overcoming impossible odds.
She added:
“You don't have to agree with me. But I'm curious: Do you believe entertainment influences the way we see relationships, money, success, and life? Or is it really "just a movie"?”
