Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:HBO Series, Big Love - 08/17/2006 Risque, a bit humorous, and very dramatic... at the end of the season, they were "caught" - now the whole world knows he's a polygamist, and they'll lose trust. They have a branch of Home Depot-esque stores that was growing quickly. Anyway, the "prophet" tattled on them, even though he was doing the same thing! Sigh... long story. But very gripping. Not sure how exactly it depicts realty, but... still dramatic and enjoyable.

Click here to see the profile of this user 		HBO Series, Big Love - 08/16/2006 Has anyone caught on to this series yet? Big Love was on last season, and I'm actually looking forward to the second...

It's about modern day polygamy. A well-off business man (Bill) has three wives, three houses, a communal backyard, and a large, large family. It focuses on his relationshp with the polygamy compound he grew up in, and his quest to break free from the "Prophet", the leader of the town.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to enjoy it... Polygamy isn't something that should be laughed at - ever. But I still can't help being drawn to this series. Has anyone watched it? Heard of it? What are your opinions?
