We only have the most basic of cable packages (it made our cable + internet bill overall cheaper than having just internet alone) so we don't get HBO. Never seen the show. From what I've heard, though, I could see it sparking a lot of unease amongst Mormons in the sense that the show presents some tenets of the Mormon religion in an incorrect light, and there is a fear that, while the polygamists may actually practice these tenets as they are portrayed in the show, people will get confused and think that actual practicing Mormons do the same. There is also the fear that people will get the misconception that the modern-day polygamists are associated with the Mormon church even though it is no longer practiced within the Church and anyone caught practicing it will be excommunicated. Perhaps the show doesn't do that. It's hard to say without having seen any of it, but that's just my guess based on what I've heard/read.
