Product Description

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

Best show - Jam-packed with worth-while drama!

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2009

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!

Big Love has the Wow Factor!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2008

Wow! This has to be one of the best television drama series since Six Feet Under and Brothers and Sisters. It's deep, it's complex, it's a little weird, but then, i guess, polygamy is all these things. The series explores what life is like in a polygamist mormom family living in Sandy, Utah, with sensitivity and in a non-judgemental way, while not fearing to delve into the more diffcult issues, like sex, kids, and religious issues. Bill Paxton plays the role of the husband, and is exciting to watch in this role that is the pinnacle of his career to date. He is supported by the amazing Chloe Sevigny, Jeanne Triplehorn, and Ginnifer Goodwin. The wives have a very complex, very deep relationship, yet although they are close, each one has secrets they cant reveal to their sister wives. This series is a must see for anyone who loves quality drama, credible acting, great storylines, and is fascinated by the secret life of polygamists. Big Love is a drama with a lot of tension, a lot of humour and warmth, and above all, a lot of heart!

Great show, but I'm missing a disc

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2007

I had seen a few episodes of this show here and there and I was honestly just curious to see how it played out.

I love it. It's a little unrealistic, but it's a good story.

What I didn't like was that I pre-ordered both seasons in a box set and when I opened up season 2 to watch it, I had two "Disc 3" discs instead of Discs 1-4.

I'm in Afghanistan on a small FOB and lacking a postal service. We get mail in, but we have no way to ship it out except every 4 months when postal comes.

I decided to go ahead and pick up disc 2, but I feel like I'm missing a lot.

So, I give it a 5 for the show. Very well done with unexpected twists.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to doubt Amazon. After using them for 10 years, I'm starting to see more and more mistakes and it's not always just as easy as sending something back.

Do the math...

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2009

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.

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.

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.
