Big Love

Has anyone caught this HBO series? My wife and I have watched season one (minus the season finale) and it's pretty good. Just curious about other's opinions on it.

I didn't watch it consistently but the episodes I saw were enjoyable - and an nteresting premise (at least from this far away)

Quite enjoyable. They really do an excellent job of making you at least somewhat sympathetic of the idea of polyamory, as well as making it clear why I, personally, would stay way the hell away.

Yeah, I've known about the concept of polyamory through various shows on MTV or whatever, but the polygamy compounds with the 13 year old wives is horrible, and this show is the first I had ever really heard of that

Yeah, my wife and I rented season one and I feel the same way. The first episode had me saying, "What the heck!?! These people are friggin' crazy -- polygyny would make my head explode!!!" However, by the last episode I was cheering and defending the family -- "They can't do that to the Henricksons!!!"
