Big Love: Season 4
Hold Tight
For years, Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) wished for a world free from the corrupt "Prophet" of Juniper Creek, Roman Grant. Now that Roman appears to be out of the picture, Bill and his family can breathe easily ... or can they?
Season 4 continues to tell the story of Bill and his three wives (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin) and now-nine children as a new maelstrom of personal issues swirl around Bill as he launches yet another business venture aimed at diversifying his assets: a Mormon-friendly casino he planned in Season 3 with Native-American partners. At the same time, and more surprisingly, Bill eschews a chance to seize the Prophet mantle at Juniper Creek (made available by the apparent demise of Roman Grant) in favor of an even more high-profile calling: running for State Senate in Utah.

From the moment the show hit the airwaves I was mesmerized. The acting is terrific and the plot lines are complex and highly entertaining.
In season four, polygamist Bill Hendrickson decides to run for the Senate so he can legitimize polygamy and finally live a public life after being in the closet for so long. A lofty goal and one with which I can sympathize because it would be horrible to live a life of lies; however, it seems implausible that someone like Bill would make himself so public and would not have been destroyed by the press in the process.
Of course truth is often stranger than fiction and we now have Kody Brown from Sister Wives, a real-life polygamist who's gone public. So it does happen and I imagine Bill & Kody will remain immune from prosecution because their other marriages aren't legal -- Bill is not really married to three women in the eyes of the law. He is only married to Barb. Anyway, wonderful entertainment. A terrific show.
