    The performances by the three lead actresses (and by Amanda Seyfried as Paxton and Tripplehorn's eldest daughter) are so strong, and the nuances of life in such a complicated relationship so endlessly fascinating, that I'll suffer through the rest for a few episodes at a time before Bill's unsettling stare or Roman's calm, criminal sense of entitlement chases me off again.

    Everything but the problems feels increasingly awkward and forced. Well-played as the characters remain, we care less about them, not more.

    I still think Big Love is one of the best Drama's on television today. Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 was great, though not quite as I still think Big Love is one of the best Drama's on television today. Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 was great, though not quite as good as Season 1. But thus far, Season 3 has been nothing short of brilliant. I'm left wanting more with every episode. It is a shame HBO confines this series to a mere 10 episodes per season.… Full Review »
