I followed this HBO show from its inception to its recent conclusion and it once again proved that when you’re looking for high quality TV programming, you don’t have to look any farther than on HBO.
Big Love followed the everyday life of a polygamist family trying to balance the necessity to keep a low profile (since polygamy is illegal) and the desire to feel and be treated like any ordinary American citizen out there.
The show’s last season followed the family’s outing from the season 4 finale, which capped what is universally considered to be the show’s weakest and most bizarre one.
Fortunately, season 5 was well developed, with good story lines and plausible occurrences. The most important plot lines were effectively brought to conclusion and the show ended on a positive, albeit sad note.
Overall, a highly recommended show that for a while shined a spotlight on a controversial marital practice that although illegal in the US is still practiced in a few states.
Season 5 - Grade: 8
Show’s Overall Grade: 8
