populating array of objects with a ref property

[Matt]

How can I populate the show property in a Schema like this:

var userSchema = new Schema({
  email: String,
  displayName: String,
  subscriptions: [{
    show: {type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Show'},
    favorite: {type: Boolean, default: false}
  }]
});

I've tried something like this

User.findOne({displayName: 'bill'})
  .populate('subscriptions.show')
  .exec(function(err, user) {
    console.log(user);
  });

It does nothing to populate it. I get something like this returned

{
  _id: 53a7a39d878a965c4de0b7f2,
  email: 'te...@test.com',
  displayName: 'bill',
  __v: 1,
  subscriptions: [{
    _id: 53a7a39d878a965c4de0b7f3,
    favorite: false
  }]
}

For deep populations you have to manually do it with the model object:

User.findOne({displayName: 'bill'})

  .exec(function(err, user) {

  User.populate(user, 'subscriptions.show', function(err, user){

   console.log(user);

  });

  });
