      Season 6 – Call the Midwife

      2016 Drama List
      Reviews Tomatometer 96% Fewer than 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 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/22 Full Review Audience Member "I find that love, I believe, though it hurts, is worth it" "I find two opinions are better than one; PARTICULARLY if one of them is mine." "People who have secrets are usually afraid. Afraid of being laughed at, or rejected or punished. Persecuted even" "Trust unfolds in a friendship Christopher. And just because a friendship becomes something else doesn't mean it has to unfold faster." Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) Call the Midwife has not lost its zeal for portraying the grimy hardships of East End life nor the sludgy realities of childbirth. Rated: 3/5 Jan 31, 2017 Full Review Euan Ferguson Guardian This has never, despite occasionally being wrongly sold as such, been sweetly cosy retro TV, and shows no signs of easing on the social grit as we move further into the 1960s.
