...series premise - "They're a family... of mobsters, of Roman emperors, of vampires... who fight and stick together like any other family" - into the social and political saga of Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), an ordinary guy in suburban Salt Lake City who happens to have three wives and a bunch of nutter relatives out in the woods. The show works simultaneously as family-values-affirming drama and deadpan surrealist farce: Father Knows Best meets Twin Peaks. And its creators, Mark V.

...added up to nothing because there was nothing to buy: no bars, no brothels, no BMW dealerships. "Imagine having so much money and nothing to eat!" said one of the Colombian GIs, Frankistey Giraldo, whose father named him after Frankenstein. When they looked at themselves, they still saw a bunch of hungry, unwashed peasants in the middle of no-man's land. They were fabulously wealthy. Except they weren...
