So this week, I had a little extra time, and rented all 12 episodes of the HBO show BIG LOVE. And I looooooved it! I'm already in Big Love withdrawal. I can't wait for the 2nd season to start and I'm thinking I'll probably have to subscribe to HBO now so I can see it.
The cast is phenomenal and never has a show made me think so much about it after I watch it.
For the record, I don't know a lot about polygamy, but I never thought it was something that could in any way be do-able in this day and age. This show proves that a family is not just Mom, Dad, Billy, and Susie.
Wife #1: Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn): She's the perfect, stay-at-home, do-it-all, forgiving, loving mother and sister-wife
Wife #2: Nicki (Chloe Sevingy): So complex and I love to hate her. She's got a horrible spending problem and is so manipulative and demanding. She lies to everyone about everything and is ice cold emotionally.
Wife #3: Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin): So naive and innocent, yet she seems so eager to be the best sister-wife and mother. She messes up constantly but is always the first to admit it.
Bill (Bill Paxton): I figured he'd be bossy, demanding, abusive, powerful, but he's anything but. Somehow he makes time for all his wives (no wonder he takes Viagra) and his 7 kids and they all seem emotionally healthy and sane for the most part. On top of that he runs a large business.
Aaaah, I just love this show.
