About this show

A moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true-to-life look at the colorful stories of midwifery and families in East London from the Fifties, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth. When Jenny Lee first arrives in Poplar, she knows nothing about hardship, poverty or indeed, life itself. Attached to an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House, Jenny is part of a team of midwives who visit expectant mothers, providing the poorest women with the best possible care.

Well written, sometimes humorous, but always touching and relatable, Call The Midwife is one of the best shows on TV. The cast works well together, and the acting is tasteful and believable. One can't help but feel compassion for the struggles of the poor families of Poplar who are in desperate need of quality medical care. The expectant mothers of the show really drive the story lines, and, as a group, are like an uncredited cast member. There is also a little sex appeal for the male viewers (Jenny Lee and Trixie Franklin). I wish the first two seasons were available.

It's not just about the characters and their growth as people in a rapidly changing world. It's also a commentary on the social changes and challenges facing them and their East End area. If you like history, a dash of romance, music, the mystery of what nuns actually do and the idea of babies then you will enjoy this show.

Between Call the Midwife never missed a a season, and watching Downton Abbey my Sunday nights where in the best place. How I found out about this series I actually read her books every one of them and when I found out they were on PBS I had to watch them and was hooked. Thanks Masterpiece Theater for making 2 of the most wonderful and intriguing Shadows I've ever seen. :) :) :)
