Host Kumi Taguchi delves into the dynamics of relationships built on convenience rather than love, questioning whether they work. She speaks with guests sharing their experiences in such relationships, including Ilania, who opted for single motherhood through a sperm donor after unsuccessful attempts at traditional relationships. Cate and Hanraj, connected via Room Xchange, have been housemates for over a year. Stacey and Nikki, single mothers struggling with housing, found solace by moving in together with their daughters. Lee began a letter correspondence with Australian man David in 1987, leading her to relocate to Australia. Katia, a sex worker, maintains transactional relationships with clients. Lawson resides with his ex-wife for financial stability and to ease the separation for their daughter.

Insight first went to air in 1995 and has since been a mainstay of SBS current affairs programming. The team doesn't shy away from taboo topics: from polygamy, to brain implants, to the secrets revealed on the deathbed.
