    The second season... crackles with high drama, suspenseful twists, unexpected humor and emotion.

    [It] remains a nervily ambiguous concept. [18 Jun 2007, p.37]
  3. Big Love has dropped the last vestiges of its ostentatious quirkiness and fashioned itself into a rich and grounded family drama. [22 Jun 2007, p.62]

    Big love is excellent! more provocative and enlightening than any other show on tv! as a side note Maureen ryan is a moron. her reviews read like a high school blogger. she prefers mind numbing shows like entourage and flight of the concords over big love. Full Review »
