Call the Midwife season 5 review

We knew going into this weekend’s new episode of “Call the Midwife” that there was going to be despair in the form of a character death. With that being said, sometimes even a predictable passing can still lead to devastation and tears. (We’ll be updating our review for this episode live.) The show really did […]

We’ve been hoping to see an episode of “Call the Midwife” use the characters of Tom, Patsy, and Trixie as much as they deserve, since that has not been something that has really been a priority for the show for much of the past several weeks. Thankfully, we’re here to say that Sunday night’s new […]

There are few episodes of “Call the Midwife” out there that are not in some way terrifying for their characters, but we’d say that Sunday night’s new episode may have been just that more than many others. It was terrible enough that there was someone out in Poplar attacking women, but this started to hit […]

It’s strange in some ways to think about an episode of any TV show where we learn about how dangerous smoking can be, if for no other reason than that this is 2016. This is hardly the sort of time where we think about this sort of stuff at all; it’s just a given that if […]

The fifth season of “Call the Midwife” has certainly raised quite a few moral questions throughout the first three episodes of season 5, but few packed the emotional punch that we saw during Sunday night’s installment. While this is a world where characters are starting to change and evolve, perception can at times can still […]

There are several different types of episodes on “Call the Midwife.” There are the ones that are at least somewhat uplifting, the ones that are bittersweet, and then also the ones that effectively pull out your heart and then stomp on it. Sunday night’s episode was definitely the latter, as Barbara had to find a way […]

The first episode of “Call the Midwife” season 5 aired on BBC One Sunday night, and if there was one thing that the show really wanted to throw at us over the course of the episode, it was the ever-present notion of change. This is something that the show has furthered along in some subtle […]

Great news for all fans of “Call the Midwife“: No one important died on the Christmas Special this year! If there is a drama series on the BBC with a knack for turning its viewers into piles of tears, this show is it. Yet, not only did the show abandon the principle of killing characters […]
