The second season... crackles with high drama, suspenseful twists, unexpected humor and emotion.
By Matt Roush FULL REVIEW

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]
By Gillian Flynn FULL REVIEW
80
The series performs a deft balancing act, creating sympathetic characters in a nontraditional family that viewers care about while making polygamy look like a much bigger relationship headache than any two-person union.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW

It's the characters, and the character development, that continually lift the show out of soap into true opera, in which things writ large resonate with pinpoint accuracy.
By Mary McNamara FULL REVIEW

There's lots of humor in "Big Love" this season, but it is all based in the characters and a new spin on familiar situations.
By David Hinckley FULL REVIEW

The show feels cold, like it's holding the audience at arm's length.
By Alan Sepinwall FULL REVIEW

“Big Love” is a waste of time, and an excruciating waste of these actors’ talents.
