This show is completley original, a husband ( BIll) share his life with three other women in this world called poligramy.From creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer comes Big Love, the story of a man, Bill Henrickson, living in Salt Lake City with his three wives, three houses, and three families.

As if normal family life isn't enough trouble, Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton, Twister, Thunderbirds) has everything in triple: three wives, three houses, three families. Bill's first and only legal wife is Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Word of Honor) but he also shares the bedroom with middle wife Nicki (Chloe Sevigny, Boys Don't Cry, Dogville) and youngest wife Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin, Ed, Mona Lisa Smile). Bill also has three new adjoining houses, seven kids, and a booming hardware business. His closest friend and business partner at Home Plus, Don Embry (Joel McKinnon Miller), is also a polygamist.

Bill's mother Lois (Grace Zabriskie, Twin Peaks, Fried Green Tomatoes) is a descendant to the original founder of the Juniper Creek compound, and is still bitter for Roman Grant's hostile takeover for the leadership. Daveigh Chase (The Ring, Lilo & Stitch) plays Roman's latest wife, the child-bride Rhonda.THis show is the most original. Love it. Hope to watch the next season.This show makes you ask one question. will I be willing to share my husband with other women?

Big Love is a series dealing with a multiple marriage family and their everyday life in the suburbs. The reason I love this series because it heart felt, based on real families and its funny in its own way. For anyone who have not seen this series, I suggest you go on the computer and try to find the episodes. The series airs on HBO, so you can try their website first. It really good series and I love to watch it each week. I can not wait until it come on again. And, good luck for those who are looking for the series.

This is one of my favorite TV shows. I rank it a TEN. This is the only series that HBO has that I really enjoy watching. I wish we had more shows and more reruns. I would watch them all. I sometimes miss the show and can never find it again.
Please have reruns for at least 3 nights per week for the ones that missed the first episode.
I enjoy finding out about other peoples ways of living and this program really helps me.
I just can't wait to see what this big family will do next. I would love to see another wife or two added to the show.

I really like this show! Barb is my favorite wife. She is so pretty with a smart head on her shoulders.Margene gets on my nerves sometimes because she lets Bill control her. Nikki is something else always causing confusion. I like the the conflict at the compound. It's really interesting and keeps me coming back. I keep watching the repeats eagerly waiting for the new episodes. As you can tell I feel like I know them all. I started watching the second season. I missed out on the first season and how it all started. Really is a fantastic drama I hope stays on for years and years!
