Going into “Call the Midwife” season 5, or really any individual episode for that matter, you have to expect that there will be many emotional stories, yet at the same exact time we’d wager that there was something in Barbara’s narrative on this episode tonight that was particularly heartbreaking. Before we get any further, two important […]
On Sunday night the latest premiere for “Call the Midwife,” and with that we saw some few interesting character updates. For example Trixie has found a new distraction to her away from alcohol, while at the same time we also saw a little bit of a good news / bad news scenario play out for Patsy […]
A new season of “Call the Midwife” has officially begun in America, and that marks another season of emotional stories, fascinating character studies, and seeing how the times are beginning to influence Poplar and the residents of Nonnatus House. Much as we did during season 4 when the show aired on PBS, we’re going to […]
On Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, PBS is bringing back one of our favorites from the UK in “Call the Midwife.” There are few dramas out there as dedicated to portraying a period of time in terms of both style and sentiment. Also, the performances are great, and the show makes you care […]

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 […]
Tonight, the BBC is saying farewell to the fifth season of “Call the Midwife” with a finale that could be one for the ages.
