Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

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

Tom Gliatto

[It] remains a nervily ambiguous concept. [18 Jun 2007, p.37]

Gillian Flynn

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]

Rob Owen

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. Read full review

David Hinckley

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. Read full review

Virginia Heffernan

Like the fledgling “John From Cincinnati” but with fewer side effects, “Big Love” derives suspense, humor and thrills from HBO’s signature insight: that Americans are profoundly anxious about how their families are different from other families. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

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

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.
