Five Big Seasons, One Great Show: A Great Box Set For Newbies, But Nothing New If You Own Individual Seasons
Quick take: If you own the other four seasons on DVD, just buy the fifth independently.
Long take: For five glorious (and sometimes frustrating) seasons, HBO's "Big Love" took polygamy family drama to new heights. While not always perfect, this show boasted some of the strongest and most underrated performances that you're likely to encounter and challenged the conventions of familial obligations and acceptance. As a long time fan, I recognize that the show could be uneven. I'm not one of those people who think that as long as you like or watch a show, it automatically ranks as five stars. Different seasons can vary in quality, and while "Big Love" had its share of growing pains--it never lacked heart or conviction. Playing with diverse elements including family drama, comedy, suspense, politics, religion, and everything in between--the show became benchmark must-see television as a savvy and sophisticated adult soap opera.

I love this show, the boxed set contains the complete series, all 5 seasons and if you've never seen the show before because you weren't interested, didn't have the time, or didn't have HBO (like me), you should youtube clips and see that this show is awesome. Funny, dramatic, happy, chaotic and brings real life into a fictitious storyline. Mothers juggling work, school, children and a husband. Bickering couples and the ups and down we women face. Times of happiness, depression, questions of faith and the afterlife, religion. Politics, religion, and state where do they seperate and draw the line? It's a lovely chaotic crazy life, Big Love <3 I have lots of love for this show.
High quality box set, but no new DVD material
