The network nazi here at work has us on lockdown so I can't see it, but since Hope mentioned it in the Sopranos thread, thought I'd bring this back to the top for others who may have missed it. :)
It's based on a fundamentalist mormon group in Colorado City, Arizona. 99.9% of the people who live there are involved in this religion and are polygamist. There's been a lot of controversy in that area since they believe in making under aged teens get married. Their leader is in jail now. Google Warren Jeffs if you want more information about them. He was the prophet for this group.
Big Love is about a guy who left the polygamist gorup and has 3 wives himself as he and his polygamist friend run their home improvement stores. They run in to political issues with the prophet since the main character, Bill Paxton, has family still in the compound.

I'm supposing you guys watched last night?
I'm glad they are explaining a litle more about how Barb felt forced into a polygamous situation. I think Roman has something up his sleeve. Hmmm..
