After a whirlwind courtship, bartender and single mom Roxy marries Army Pfc. Trevor LeBlanc and moves with him and her two children to an Army base in Charleston, S.C. There, she soon becomes close friends with other wives on the base, including Denise Sherwood, whose son, Jeremy, temporarily abused her after the deployment of her husband, Maj. Frank Sherwood, until Jeremy joined the service himself; and psychiatrist Roland Burton, a male "Army wife" trying to help his spouse, Lt. Col. Joan Burton, who is struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. When the "army wives" prepare to leave the base after it is decommissioned, they must adjust to the idea of moving away from their close-knit group of friends.

Army Wives is melodramatic, all right, but it's also consistently, stupefyingly boring. Go to Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News 03/26/2011
3/5
It makes for an emotional and intensely focused hour that stays true to both the characters and the tone of the show. Go to Full Review Dani Bradford TV Equals 11/19/2013
I think the fifth season of Army Wives is one of the betters ones (aside from the first which is my favorite) and worth a purchase, especially if you are a die hard fan. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 06/13/2011
