Lifetime's Army Wives is one of TV's most satisfying dramas. And why not? Like the best hospital or police procedurals, the show portrays the imminent threat of death; like the best workplace shows, it features a wide variety of characters thrown together in a small, unforgiving environment--and lets the drama unfold. Season Two shows how the characters have grown on the Army base--flawed though they may be, and always trying to make the world (or their own marriages) a better place. There's more infidelity (say it ain't so, Frank!), more flirtations, more blossoming and unlikely friendships, and a lot more true drama. Standouts in this season include the spunky Sally Pressman (Roxy) who plans to reopen the Hump Bar after last season's shocking tragedy there. Kim Delaney and Catherine Bell also give the cast its strong bone structure, though their characters experience fewer peaks and valleys this season. Sterling K. Brown is also especially compelling, as a man torn between commitment to country and to love. Fans will devour the extras on the boxed set, including fascinating background information on how the U.S. military has cooperated with the production, in ways large and small; interviews with key cast members on how they have connected with their characters; and a goofy bloopers reel. --A.T.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS SHOW!!!, June 9, 2009

By	Mika R. Hutchison (Wherever the military sends us!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband is currently deployed and this show is something I get to look forward to every week. I'm not living near base while he's gone so I can't really participate in the FRG and such. This show gives me something to relate to. I laugh, cry, go "awwww...", yell and throw couch cushions at the tv. FANTASTIC show. The characters and storyline are great. If you're an army wife going through deployment... Get this show. It's very comforting. Honestly, in the beginning of his deployment, this show is what helped me suck it up and be strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time the military families' challenges are explored !, June 1, 2009

What a GREAT cast! Each character is played and developed so well that by the end of the show, now I can hardly wait for the Second Season to arrive in the mail. EACH actor as well as the programs creators must be applauded for their outstanding, deeply moving, uniquely individual personae that are portrayed. I was not even aware of the existence of the show until I found out that Catharine Bell had continued her career after the incredible job she did during all of the JAG years. That's the reason I purchased the series--I gambled on Catharine. And then to find the entire group so talented and convincing, was a real treat. For those who love JAG, NCIS, The Unit, or any other military-focused series, this is a very welcome addition. Extremely enjoyable is the "partial cast group question-answer session with the produces, or creators of the show." The actors show their true selves during this session, and seem to have developed a family- comeraderie, which I found very refreshing. I think the productions values are even higher because of it. I loved getting to see them as people. Bravo for this series--I hope it continues for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Army Wives - one of the best series today, July 6, 2009

By	Indy Snow (USA) - See all my reviews

Army Wives is one of the best series on TV today. I was so pleased to get the second series on DVD. The first season built the characters and history which really launched the second season into a whole new level. The 2nd season is filled with drama, laughter, and tears. We are brought into the women's lives in a deeper manner and can relate so much more. Since I didn't have cable to watch it on TV, I couldn't get enough watching it on the DVD's - played one episode right after another. Bonus with the second season - the packaging for the 5 discs is the best I've seen for a TV series. Wish all DVD's came like this.
