TV: Big Love
Fascinating and well done This is a great new HBO series. I really enjoyed the first season, which recently ended. It’s about a polygamist Morman family in Utah. It’s pretty dramatic, including a whole plotline about the devious and controlling leader of the nearby polygamist commune. And it doesn’t make polygamy out to be a haven by any means. Poor guy has three wives, a ton of kids, the nasty “prophet” from the commune and the suspicious community to deal with. I’m looking forward to the second season and hope it holds together without devolving into melodramatic, hopeless despair (the way Sopranos did).

Oh good! Someone else who watched Big Love. I finally got around to watching the last episode. I am interested to see what they are going to do with this bunch. Does the show make you feel uncomfortable? I feel like I am squeemish when I am watching it, but I can't stop looking! Sally
It doesn't make me uncomfortable. My mom says it is a soap opera and I suppose she is right, but then Sopranos and Six Feet Under and all those are in their own ways as well. I like it! And I am curious what will happen next, too. :-) I hope it doesn't get too melodramatic and stupid in season 2.
