-
The writing's crisp and the acting is first-rate.
-
A tightly woven, watchable melodrama that connects an eclectic but friendly bunch of women through maybe the only thing they could possibly have in common: being married to the military.
-
An earnest soap about women who are scrappy, sensitive, and stoic. [1 Jun 2007, p.64]
-
A satisfyingly meaty drama. [11 Jun 2007, p.41]
-
The show succeeds on a number of levels and builds on a well-crafted premise pilot.
-
The intimate moments have a gutsy realness, and the central characterizations are bedrock enough to sell us through the stereotypes.
-
"Army Wives" is a series that sucks you in on the strength of its characters.
-
With a little tweaking, the series just as easily could be set in some large corporation, or on a college campus, and engage most of the same interpersonal issues — what women do for men and for one another.
-
"Army Wives" is better than it has any right to be.

CJG.Apr 18, 2010Never saw the kind of drivel you write about the Army or it's environs. Make a mockery of the Military and you can expect negative criticisms.
