      Season 3 – Call the Midwife

      2014 Drama List
      88% 8 Reviews Tomatometer 97% 50+ Ratings Audience Score 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely a binge watch! Loved this show. It is kind of reminiscent of Friday Night Lights, the sense of place is so strong, and make me feel like I want to go live in their world. It's really nice to see a show where the principle characters are women, active women doing significant things, delivering new life into the world no less.

      Ellen E Jones Independent (UK) Call The Midwife and its ilk might include darker subjects from time to time, but lacking the nuance of serious drama they can never truly tackle them - so why bother? Apr 1, 2014 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Call the Midwife is both historically unsparing-the grim realities of poverty drive most episodes-and gorgeously hopeful. Apr 1, 2014 Full Review Maureen Ryan Huffington Post It might be a bit obvious sometimes, but its warm, open tone, its friendly, empathic treatment of its characters and its life-and-death subject matter all come together to make for something unique. Mar 31, 2014 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 Their stories are always engaging, not only because midwifery as it was practiced in the '50s is so interesting, but also because the midwives themselves are fully realized characters. Rated: 7/10 Jun 2, 2014 Full Review Sabienna Bowman TV Equals As one of the show's best characters, I am excited to see Shelagh continue to have a compelling storyline this season. Joy is wonderful, but there is more narrative potential in heartbreak. Apr 14, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
