This is one of HBO's golden gems. Thank GOD (no pun intended) this is nothing like Sisterwives with their smug cat-ate-the-canary husband. Bleah. Big Love has characters and plots that are entertaining as they are braided in this FLDS situation. There are more than enough plot twists, comedic situations and heartbreak to pull you in. I hope you watch it. Enjoy!
