Season 2
The offbeat comedy drama Big Love, about a polygamist with three wives, is back for its second season.
As the new season opens, Bill, who owns a pair of hardware superstores, is facing personal and professional crises brought on by the exposure of “first wife” Barb as a polygamist during a high-profile “Mother of the Year” ceremony at the governor's mansion.
A few weeks later, Bill's other wives Nicki and Margene pick up the slack as Barb languishes in a melancholy funk, leaving Bill to assess the damage the scandal caused his Home Plus stores, and to track down the villain responsible.
Not surprisingly, his search will lead him to the polygamist compound of Juniper Creek, where father-in-law Roman Grant aka the “Prophet”, has put the squeeze on Bill's ne'er-do-well brother Joey in the wake of Roman's son Alby's nearly fatal poisoning.
As Bill faces off with his nemesis, he contemplates changes to his personal and professional life that promise to impact every member of his family.
