Big Love

The man and I have been completely immersed in this television series lately, on the ledge of obsessed. We saw a couple of episodes on late night HBO over a couple of days, and decided we absolutely needed to see all of it! So we got a hold of the first season and we've been watching through it. I adore it! And I really don't know what the allure is, but I'm just so fascinated by all things having to do with the show!

The series "Big Love" is based around a family of Polygamists in the wholesome state of Utah. One man, played by Bill Paxton, is married to three women, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin, and together with their children try to make it through every day life. The three women have very diverse personalities and traits, and very different contributions to the family. Basically, this family overcomes the obstacles involved with living a secret life, while trying to run a business, as well as deal with their dark Mormon background and live a pure and decent life free of the stereotypes that polygamy carries with it.


It's so amazing, I am just crazy about it! Don't get me wrong here, people, I'm not getting ready to convert or anything like that, but it's just so darn interesting. And the actors are just so incredible, and so funny and completely different from what I'm used to seeing. And while watching you're exposed to a lot of basic christian principles as well, and strong family values, which you really don't see a lot of on television anymore.

If you're scanning through the channels and you see it, I definitely suggest you give it the time of day because I am just thoroughly enjoying every second of it!
