Bill Henrickson seems like a typical suburban husband and father, except for the fact that he has three wives, nine kids and three homes to maintain. The Salt Lake City polygamist has to juggle his families' needs while overseeing his casino business, fulfilling his political interests and attempting to reconnect with his fundamentalist relatives.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Big Love remains blessed with a compelling ensemble in its fourth season, but the series' carefully orchestrated drama devolves into sudsy melodrama when Bill Henrickson mounts a political campaign that strains credulity.

Mercury News Staff San Jose Mercury News For all the "Eternal Fathers" and prairie dresses and the attempt to say something meaningful about family, I see nothing here but Hollywood actors pretending. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James HitFix A fourth season that's been hugely uneven. There have been fantastic episodes in it, but the overall story arc has been all over the place, and there's often been a sense of the show trying to cram too much into one season. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Daniel Fienberg HitFix Since "confusion" is one of the things Paxton plays best, I'm digging the choices that Bill seems to be facing by "The Greater Good" and I can see how this could play out well over the season. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review TV Fanatic Staff TV Fanatic Had many shocking, but extremely truthful moments. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette It pains me to write that the series may be running out of steam. Or maybe getting lost in the billows of steam created by all its furiously grinding parts. Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) The plot has careened out of control. Like a train that's run off the track. Jan 10, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
