Adapted by Heidi Thomas from the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, this drama series is a moving, funny, colorful look at midwifery and family in 1950s East End London. It follows newly qualified midwife Jenny, who joins an eccentric, lovable community of nuns who are nurses at Nonnatus House. Jenny is surprised to find herself at a convent -- she thought she was being sent to a small private hospital -- and is initially daunted by her surroundings, most notably the formidable Sister Evangelina and the unconventional Sister Monica Joan. But Jenny gradually begins to find her way and develops incredible friendships among the nurses, as they are drawn into the lives and homes of the women and families they treat.

Ben Walsh Independent (UK) This superior soap about the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House is still defiantly worthy and faintly patronising. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2013 Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sweet and heartwarming (and heart-wrenching), Call the Midwife is a lovely look at female friendships. Rated: 3/4 Mar 31, 2013 Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian It's all very nicely shot, but there's both a dreary worthiness and a quaintness to Call the Midwife, wrapped in a kind of sentimental greetings card morality. Jan 20, 2013 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said It's a rich well of stories of women. Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte National Catholic Reporter Call the Midwife is a celebration of life Aug 11, 2017 Full Review J.M. Suarez PopMatters Call the Midwife continues to be a highly enjoyable story about a very specific and underrepresented group of women in a time when their independence and skill was the exception.
