Oct 21, 2019 | Full Review… Charlie McCollum San Jose Mercury News Top Critic Stand ready to salute the best new drama series in Lifetime's lifetime. Jun 1, 2007 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The show succeeds on a number of levels and builds on a well-crafted premise pilot. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review… Barry Garron Hollywood Reporter Top Critic At a certain point, the soapy qualities could kick in and bring these characters to life, but as it stands, Army Wives feels as empty as expressing "Support the troops" sentiments on a bumper sticker. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Lowry Variety Top Critic The effects of war on the home front are unmistakable and are dealt with in a surprisingly straightforward manner. May 31, 2007 | Full Review… Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune Top Critic It tells entertaining stories that combine fiction with the very real drama associated with marrying into a military life. May 31, 2007 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Army Wives is evidence of the channel's good shopping sense as opposed to production savvy. May 31, 2007 | Full Review… Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer The Army wives know how to make it last. May 30, 2007 | Full Review… Annie Young Frisbie Time Out Chicago The producers of Army Wives seem determined to deliver a conscientious depiction of life for military families. They need to remember they aren't making a documentary. Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Boston Herald Staff Boston Herald There's absolutely nothing wrong with a good soap opera. It's just that Army Wives doesn't start out as a particularly good soap opera. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) What begins as a guilty pleasure becomes a legitimately enthralling series by the end of its fourth episode. Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com Army Wives offers an intriguing premise that's bogged down in its execution by uninspired, unimaginative stories.
