Editorial Review:
HBO pushes the boundaries once again with this hit show about a man with three wives. Bill Paxton (ALIENS) stars as Bill Henrickson a Salt Lake City Mormon who appears to have eked out an achingly mundane existence for himself. But scratch beneath the surface and Bill is far from ordinary. Balancing three wives--Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) Nicki (Chloe Sevigny) and Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin)--who live in adjoining houses Bill also has seven children to raise. He negotiates the strange and stressful setup throughout the show while his best friend Don Embry (Joel McKinnon Miller) often chimes in with some advice from his own life as a polygamist. This release includes every episode from BIG LOVE's first and second seasons.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/HBO UPC: 026359794322 Manufacturer No: 97943
Big Love - The Complete First Two Seasons Reviews:
Do the math... 
2009-09-22 - This review has nothing to do with the quality of the show itself, but with the particular product for which i see no reason of existence, unless the price drops dramaticaly. The rules of the free market along with common sense have been thrown in the garbage, in the hope that the buyers are careless enough to not notice the outrageous pricing ? Why should anyone pay $82 for the first 2 seasons when each one is sold seperately for $24.49, is really, really beyond me...This is not a blu ray version or an improved edition from what i can tell, unless i am missing something. So what is the reason for such a vast difference? Is it that the discs are offered in a double case that takes less space on the bookshelve than the two single ones and therefor you may save a few centimeters which justifies paying nearly double? Not even that...Judging from the pictures, you are buying the identical two single cased seasons. The only difference is that you pay much more... Pure lunacy...Just do the math and stay away from this one!
Just a great series. 
2009-06-28 - i have been a big fan of Big Love from the beginning. Getting over the polygamy part early on, you're able to get involved in these families' lives and empathize with the same struggles that every family goes through. It has a very strong cast, particularly the wives, as well as Harry Dean Stanton, who really makes the best villian. There are significant complexities that make it captivating, even season after season, that keep you coming back. I would definitely recommend this series and make sure you watch from the beginning.
*BIG LOVE - Great Show!*
2009-05-24 - I am very happy my sister told me about this show.It is different then any show I have seen before.I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it.You really get to know each and every person,and it keeps you watching to see whats happening to them.I actually admit I did not think I would care for a show about a man with 3 wives.However,I love it.It is addictive.I hope the show lasts for many seasons.
AWESOME
2009-05-20 - This was one of my better finds. I really enjoy this show and can now watch it at will. If your at all interested, i wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
ENJOY
Best show - Jam-packed with worth-while drama!
2009-04-27 - It's amazing how much drama the producers are able to fit into a one-hour segment. I LOVE this show. Every episode leaves you begging to know what happens next. I started watching Big Love on Season 3 on HBO... And was able to watch all of the Season 2 re-runs when they did a marathon. After Season 3 ended though, I had withdrawals, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to buy the Season 1 and 2 bundle to catch up. It's an excellent show. Another plus, is the great choice of music used in some of the episodes. Although this is a DVD set, we play them in our Blu-Ray player on the 52" flat-screen, and the picture is still magnificent. "Big Love", in my opinion, is what makes HBO worth having on your TV. The producers picked the best actors to play each part. Bill Paxton is great ofcourse. 'Barb' is my favorite wife on the show, 'Marg' is the fun, young, flirty wife who's trying to adjust to this new life, and 'Nicki' is the wife everyone loves to hate. The supporting actors are wild, and sometimes wildly funny in their own eerie way. If you are looking for a show packed with drama, various emotion, and twists, this should do it!
