new show

Labels: ,

Big Love

We got one of the DVDs from the first season and watched it Saturday night. I really like this show. It's kind of a behind the scenes look at a polygamist family in Utah. I think it appeals to me for several reasons:

  • I went on a Mission Trip to Utah/Idaho in college and saw first hand what Mormonism is like

  • the show is on HBO, and I think Christians should be keenly aware of what airs on HBO...it's what the rest of the world watches

  • despite the TV-MA rating, there is no cursing on the show [one word in 3 episodes]


    • The website claims...
    According to a joint report issued by the Utah and Arizona Attorney General's Offices, July 2005, "[a]pproximately 20,000 to 40,000 or more people currently practice polygamy in the United States." The Mormon Church officially banned the practice of polygamy in 1890.
