PodBill Just what I expected

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

cosmax10 I love watching this show because I was born in London in 1960 and my brother was born in 1962. My mother had been living in London for about 5 years at the time. I was born in a hospital, and my brother by a midwife and a partially drunk doctor. The midwife was terrible according to my Australian grandmother who was there for his birth, she said it was more primitive than the births in Australia. My brother's birth was difficult, especially for him, the midwife made a mistake in her assumptions. A lot of women did not see a lovely Trixie, or a sympathetic Jenny or even a stern but experienced Sister Evangelina. I am sure that there were many dedicated and wonderful midwives but there was also some terrible ones.

studioAT Somewhere along the way 'Call the Midwife' has become the nations favourite drama, often toppling Downton in the ratings and earning a reputation as the must watch programme over Christmas.The reason for its success on paper is simple. It features good actors, good story lines and is gentle viewing on a Sunday night. It's not afraid to tackle big issues, but there's always humour along the way.The show has had to change over time, losing its main leading lady in Jessica Raine after series three and then dealing with Miranda Hart's decision to scale back her appearances.The BBC's decision to commission multiple series ahead of time shows how much 'Call the Midwife' has touched the public's heart.

josephinefantauzzi i have not read the book but i adore this show though i admit it stirs up a lot of emotions at times. i love the stories of each character though i have to say i am disappointed that Jenny still narrates after she leaves in Season 3 and that you don't see Chummy in Season 4 though her husband is still a police officer in Poplar...where did she disappear to? and the baby? i am hoping that Netflix will add Seasons 5 & 6 relatively soon! i do like that there has been a lot diversity in characters and personalities/religions/backgrounds. and i like that they do touch on the historical events of the time (i.e.: Fred talking about the Cold War).

david-86864 Very touching series, full of the kindest remarks and a giving to others that one seldom witnesses in film. The remarks made by the nuns and nurses are saturated with words that edify and never condemn. Seldom do I shed tears, but with this series I cannot stop them. I want to be like what it is I hear the actors speaking. I want those words to be on the tip of my tongue. Love is life giving, isn't it? From this series, one sees that love is born from the knowledge of and willing obedience to God's set of virtues, not something of man's own making. Even in the hardest sayings is there love to be felt. My applause to the writers and to the actors who are so able to convey this message.
