Call the Midwife

So, is anyone watching this? I started it, stopped, started again, third time was the charm. Madisyn actually finished watching the 13 seasons that are on Netflix before me, and then we had to go digging for season 14, which we found on PBS, I think. Anyway! I'd love to talk about it with someone, if anyone's watched, and is interested in discussing it. So, hit me up, if you want :)

No worries!
Nurse Crane is a delight, yes. As is Sister Monica Joan, and Sister Julienne. And Chummy. :D
That was such a sad, sad episode. Or the one where the woman had syphilis, I think, and lost the fetus, and Jenny was kind of horrified by her, but then called her a heroine, and the woman just...glowed....
The poor wee Irish girl whose baby was taken from her at the church home, who'd been whored out by the 'nice' man.... That character/actress was so excellent!

I'm with you, I detest that episode.

It's crazy and sad and horrible to see how AWFUL the living conditions were, how destroyed and ruined, but there everyone was, still living in all that mess....

I read the book the first few seasons were based on - really good! I'm still enjoying the show so much after all these seasons, which isn't something that happens too often! I didn't like how they filmed through COVID though - too much distance, it made for some weird/awkward moments.

I'm almost done with season 14, I think - not sure how many eps, I need to look it up. I watch on a free streaming site. :D
