Big Love (Seasons 1–5)

Big Love (2006–2011) is an HBO drama you can watch online on iFILM. Created by Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer, it centers on Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), a suburban Salt Lake City hardware-store owner with three wives and seven children.

Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn), Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) and Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) live in three adjoining houses around one shared backyard, rotating the husband on a schedule. To the neighbors they pass as model Mormon families; inside there's jealousy, the strain of funding three households at once, and a steady fear of exposure, because polygamy is illegal in Utah. When unsettling news about Bill's father surfaces, he is pulled back to the fundamentalist compound he once fled.

Across five seasons the show takes a setup that sounds like a punchline and turns it into a sharp study of faith, family and hypocrisy. The cast also features Amanda Seyfried in an early breakout and Bruce Dern. Stream every season of Big Love online on iFILM.
