Though Big Love is highly entertaining -- and compelling to watch given its stellar cast -- the show does disappoint.

It's rare enough for TV to come up with a compelling, quality family drama, but HBO has upped the ante.

Unless you're a diehard fan of the actors involved, or a closet polygamist yourself, you'll likely have a hard time caring about any of the characters or what happens to them next.

A terrific foundation for the exploration of faith in "everyday life." Not just religious belief, but the bonds between relatives and relations.

The Henricksons struggle with the same tensions that beset every family, but because of their peculiar living situation, those tensions are writ large. The characters are marvels of complexity

Subtly and not so subtly misogynistic as well as inveterately pitying of the benighted, hen-pecked, breeder male.
December 10, 2018
The series makes a powerful case that fundamentalism of any stripe exists in an uneasy truce with the civil and economic religion of American mass culture.
