Quote of the Day: Chloe Sevigny on Big Love’s Awful Season

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Gossip,

UPDATE: You can read Sevigny’s apology for her comments here.

“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! [Gasps.] It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season. And with nine episodes, I think they were just squishing too much in. HBO only gave us nine Sundays, because they have so much other original programming—especially with The Pacific—and they only have a certain amount of Sundays per year, so we only got nine Sundays. I think that they had more story than episodes. I think that’s what happened… Me and the girls [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin] definitely were not very happy with where it was going—or more kind of, ‘We really hope it’s going to work. It seems like they’re really pushing it.’ I think next season, they’re going to go back to more just the family. I think that the stuff with Ben and Lois and that stuff was really great in Mexico, but… [Laughs.]”

A polygamist family that ice skates together is eventually bound to fall together…or just fall apart.

Although this early trailer for Big Love comes with no preview scenes, the expressions on all their faces are quite telling. Why does Barb look particularly concerned? Why does Nicki seem confused? Why can’t Bill hold on to his wives?
