I'll try to keep this short - we all know how long-winded I can be on these posts - but this was easily the best season of Big Love yet. What began as a fun but thematically lightweight look at a polygamist family has turned into a real high-octane soap opera of sorts. By the end of this season, infidelity and divorce had been explored, a miscarriage had occurred, everyone had something to hide (EDIT: wow, it says that right on the front cover!), and multiple characters had been murdered or had had attempts made on their lives. This show and its characters have really grown on me for three seasons now, and while this still doesn't sniff the top tier of HBO dramas (now there's a ranked list for a rainy day), Big Love has proven to be a compelling enough series good for far more than background viewing while surfing the web or playing DS games.
