Bill Henrickson seems like a typical suburban husband and father, except for the fact that he has three wives, nine kids and three homes to maintain. The Salt Lake City polygamist has to juggle his families' needs while overseeing his casino business, fulfilling his political interests and attempting to reconnect with his fundamentalist relatives.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Big Love remains blessed with a compelling ensemble in its fourth season, but the series' carefully orchestrated drama devolves into sudsy melodrama when Bill Henrickson mounts a political campaign that strains credulity.

For all the "Eternal Fathers" and prairie dresses and the attempt to say something meaningful about family, I see nothing here but Hollywood actors pretending. Go to Full Review Emily St. James HitFix 12/11/2018
A fourth season that's been hugely uneven. There have been fantastic episodes in it, but the overall story arc has been all over the place, and there's often been a sense of the show trying to cram too much into one season. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg HitFix 12/11/2018
Since "confusion" is one of the things Paxton plays best, I'm digging the choices that Bill seems to be facing by "The Greater Good" and I can see how this could play out well over the season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
