Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Sister Wives Season 5 earns its spot. Sister Wives Season 5 understands that the format only works if the people in it feel real. Season 5 begins with two daughters graduating high school, Mykelti and Madison. The grown ups plan to lip sync a song to celebrate, but it brings out some negative feelings for Janelle, who is not comfortable being so outgoing and admits to being embarrassed in public by the others' behavior. And a deeper issue of feeling like she's not heard bubbles to the surface and she sees a therapist to discuss that along with her challenging relationship with first wife Meri. Kody Brown leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2014. The format has been replicated endlessly since Sister Wives Season 5 first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Best watched with company, Sister Wives Season 5 generates takes from everyone in the room. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Kody Brown is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. The kind of thing that generates strong opinions in every room it is watched in.
