Okay, against all my preconceived notions against polygamy I have become an avid fan of the HBO series, "Big Love." I'm totally hooked on it. Anybody else? And why, if you care to share?
I'm fascinated with all the intrigues, manipulation, subtle and not-so-subtle intimidations, innuendoes, hypocrisies of the characters and the overall dramatic, social science of it.
There are many aspects of both the "compound" life of Roman's group and of the more urban subculture of Bill's family that correlate to high-control groups like the jws. I find it utterly fascinating and entertaining. I'm addicted to the show.
So, how many "Big Love" Fans out there and why?

margene being love bombed by the traditional mormons is funny..
bills mom and dads relationship cracks me up
its introducing several dramatic lines that might be pretty good.. the relationship between young ben and margene... nikkis debt and how her relationship with her dad might play into the feud between roman and bill....

Please see my response to you on the other thread as well.
YES! I love this show. I find it very thought provoking. And a bit scary. I hear the cult-like talk come out of their mouths and I flashback to my time in cult. I am amazed at the level of writing, that the actors can make these people so flawed, but yet moving. I even like Nikki, as flawed as she is, because I can see how screwed up her life must have been to make her this way now.
I hope this show goes on for several more seasons. It is just so interesting.

We love it: good actors, great plotlines, and enough of a grabber for next week to keep us coming back for more. And a definite similarity to the JWs at times.

I love it for all the reasons already stated. So far, I can't get Dave interested in watching with me, but he enjoys my recaps.
Margene cracks me up. And Barb feeling guilty for "having an affair"????

I watched the first four or five episodes but I have gotten bored with it. Maybe I will check out the latest episodes as they are on my on demand. - Eduardo
