Big Love February 7, 2010

Big Love - The Complete First Two Seasons Great Christmas gift. Low price.
Another World. February 6, 2010
Gary Peterson (San Diego, California USA)
My wife and I like to watch DVDs as late night television entertainment. We've been watching a variety of old TV series: Star Trek, Deep Space Nine, Poirot, Murder, She Wrote, etc. We like the little stories without any commercial or other breaks. We can watch one or two episodes per night and we try to keep it light entertainment. It's a good relaxing break after putting the baby to bed and before we get ready for bedtime.
One series my wife chose was "Big Love," a former HBO series involving plural marriage in Utah. One man is married to three women and living comfortably in a nice little Utah suburb in three close side-by-side houses. Everything is disguised to look like three separate families, but, in fact. it's three wives living in three different houses and sharing a husband who roams from house to house on a scheduled basis. The series has to do with all the situations the adults and their offspring encounter and how they manage to cope with it. Also, it involves the complicated interaction of the three wives with one another and with the husband. Plus, there's all the children. Of course, religion enters in so there's a liberal religious (mainly Mormon, naturally) undertone to the whole setup. It's an interesting series and the cast does an excellent job.
I find "Big Love" only so-so watching and I find it interesting but I don't get deeply involved, but my wife finds it absolutely compelling. I don't really understand why and don't ask many in-depth questions to find out why. I suppose it's just another world and a little peek in. In any case, we've completed Seasons One and Two and, after a break of several months, my wife came up with Season 3 while browsing through the DVD bins at our local Warehouse club store. Of course we had to have it and we've already watched the first tow episodes.

 Do the math... 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. June 28, 2009
Mary Ellen (Queens, NY, USA)
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!* May 24, 2009
Melissa Blubaugh (Maryland,United States)
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.
