Product Description:
The critically acclaimed hit series Big Love returns for it?s second break-out season. Bill Henrickson works hard and plays by the rules. All he wants in return is a happy secure normal life for his family. Is that too much to ask? Maybe so. For a polygamist like Bill the American Dream comes with strings attached. Season 2 opens with even more drama as Bill?s mission to learn who tipped off the authorities and exposed first wife Barb as a polygamist escalates. Not surprisingly his search will lead him to the polygamist compound of Juniper Creek where his primary suspect is Roman Grant. Bill contemplates changes in his personal and professional life that promise to impact every member of his family.Running Time: 720 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 026359424427 Manufacturer No: 1000014075

Early on in Big Love's second season, closeted polygamist Bill Henrickson's kids come to him with a broken toy. "I can fix anything," he reassures them. If only his chaotic life were as easy to mend. Among the crises vying for his attention this season are finding out who was responsible for outing his wife, Barbara (Jeanne Tripplehorn), at the Mother of the Year ceremony; the investigation into the poisoning of his brother-in-law, Alby, for which he could be implicated in a cover-up; negotiating a deal to purchase a gaming company coveted by Roman (Harry Dean Stanton); and, in a "holy spirit sucker punch," meeting Ana (Branca Katic), a Serbian waitress who just could be wife No. 4. A Golden Globe nominee for Best Drama, Big Love further draws viewers into the polygamists' shadow world. "If they could show just one normal plural family for a change," someone remarks at one point. Grounded in "the principle," the Henrickson households are about as normal as you can get with the sister wives at once fiercely protective of the family, while at the same jockeying for position and influence. Nicki (Chloe Svigny) is beholden to her father, the prophet Roman (whom Bill aptly calls "venal, corrupt, the face of evil"), and duty-bound mother, Adaleen (Mary Kay Place). Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin), the third and youngest wife, has absolutely no boundaries, and initiates a friendship with Ana, and agrees to be a surrogate mother for her unwitting neighbor. "Boss Lady" Barbara must come to terms with the sacrifices she made for her marriage. Meanwhile, Barbara's teenage son and daughter are at their own crossroads on deciding whether to follow their parents' path. Complicating matters even further are Rhonda (Daveigh Chase, the voice of Lilo in Disney's Lilo & Stitch), the lying and manipulative child bride who runs away from Roman and the compound, Alby's sinister ascendancy, and Hollis Green, a rival polygamist patriarch and fierce fundamentalist with a penchant for branding those who cross him.
Season 2 further fleshes out television's most unconventional family drama. This set also includes three "prequels" that peek in on the Henricksons up to five years before the events of the first season. In one, Nicki suffers post-partum depression following the birth of her first son. In the second, Margene makes an indelible first impression in "Meet the Baby-Sitter." The third shows how Bill's three wives compel a move to the suburbs and into their three-home compound. This series has emerged from The Sopranos' shadow to earn some Big Love of its own. What happens next? As the Beach Boys sing during the haunting and etheral opening credits, "God only knows." --Donald Liebenson

This show is a very interesting drama... Its a lot like Desperate Housewives except that they are all married to the same man. Creative writing and interesting plots. I am looking forward to the next season!!

Great intrigue as Bill's perfect world starts to fray at the edges. Nicky, surely the least likeable wife, wrangles with her money demons. Barb renews her attempts to placate and mediate impossible situations for love of Bill and Margene makes efforts go her own way.
The threats hinted at in series one emerge powerfully in this series because it was too good to be true. Veterans of series 1 knew that and the narratives which drive series 2 will please them. Bill's oldest children have ... Read More

In Big Love - The Complete Second Season we learn the effect of polygamy on Bill's oldest children, Sarah and Ben. Sarah is against the principle, and joins a support group for ex-Mormons. Ben decides to embrace the principle whole-heartedly, and begins dating homely identical twins who wish to marry a 'rigeous man' such as he. Barb, Nicki and Margene all get more screen time the season, with Bill figuring in when there's a business deal or something is amuck at the compound.

I saw the first series in the UK and realy enjoyed it.Second series is
fantastic, humorous,sad and exciting in places. Every bit as good as the first.
All about Bill Henrikson and his 3 wives and their children trying to fit in to normal suburban life and also live their lives as polygamists.
Look forward to season three on dvd.

BIG LOVE is not only well-written and captivating, it is extremely revealing to the world in regard to the LDS cult. It's about time somebody showed us the truth surrounding this religion.
