5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Series October 7, 2011

By M. Burroughs

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I haven't reviewed the first four seasons, so I will make this cumulative. Although I don't watch much television, my wife told me about this some time ago, so I took a chance and bought the first season on DVD--and then the second, third, fourth, and now the fifth. For the past couple of days I have done little else but watch it; it was hard to stop at the end of an episode and go do something else, such as eat and sleep!

Now I retired from the Air Force 20 years ago after serving 24+ years--both as an officer and as an NCO. The culture of the Air Force is different from that of the Army, so I couldn't totally "feel" the pulse of the show from (1) an Army perspective or (2) a wife's perspective. But still, I loved it. At times, I felt that I could in some way identify with most of the main characters, and always I found myself completely wrapped up in the series. I laughed, I became angry, I cried.

The last episode of Season Five would seem to be the end of the entire series, but according to one of the special features, a sixth season may be on the horizon. If so, I will definitely buy it when it becomes available on DVD.

Despite some aspects that may not be completely true to life, the dynamics among the various personalities and the challenges each character faces are very realistic and down to earth. This series is great entertainment, but most of all, it presents life in the military--not only for the military members themselves--but also for their families and should help raise the public awareness of the sacrifices our military families make in the service of our Nation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just keeps getting better. October 3, 2011

By Heather

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

"Army Wives" is the only currently-running show that I watch. I bought and watched the fourth season while deployed in Afghanistan, and just got this season the other day. I was glad to see that the cast's fine performances and excellent scripts haven't changed a bit. Having been deployed, this show resonates with me more than ever -- I admit it, I cried on episode 4 (and if you haven't seen it, I'm not spoiling it for you). This show continues to portray a variety of soldiers, from the lowest-ranking junior enlisted soldier to the highest-ranking officer, and does so in a very realistic manner. I see a lot of my personal experiences in these stories and characters. My only complaint is that the season isn't long enough!

Season Five was chopped full of adventure. I like this show because it never disappoints. You are able to see how the characters mature throughout the season and the strides and success that they make in their lives.

I would recommend this to anyone who follows Armywives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thought invoking show June 8, 2013

Army Wives touch on every day issues that confront our military and their families, giving us a look at how they are dealing with returning home from war, family concerns and problems. It even touches on issues that we all face or think about in our lives, dong so in such a manner as to, hopefully, makes us look at a differing view of an issue other than our own.
It is well written and well played out.

It's your typical prime time soap: much of it is pat plotlines; some of it is fun. Some of the principal cast is charming; some of them are annoying. Watch a few. You might get caught up.
