For most of “Call the Midwife” season 3, one of our biggest complains has been that the story feels a little too much like a procedural “Grey’s Anatomy.” While there have been a few stories here and there that carry over from week too week, too often we have devoted more of our time to […]
What happened on “Call the Midwife” Sunday night? The series is still fairly procedural, and thanks to that, a pretty hefty percentage of the episode was spent talking about something that will not matter next week: The tale of Stella, a prison inmate who had to struggle with whether or not she was going to […]
Last week on BBC One, “The Crimson Field” got off to what was a pretty smashing start. Around 6 million viewers (impressive for a new series in the UK) tuned in to watch a series that was all about World War I and those supporting the front lines. We labeled it as similar in a […]

The second episode of “Call the Midwife’s” third season aired on PBS Sunday night, and odds are, you may have been moved a few times by a heartbreaking story of a woman who gave birth to a child her husband would not accept. Why is that? This child was born to another man. (Spoilers ahead!) […]
One the things that “Call the Midwife” tends to excel at is creating balance between stories impacting the characters, and also stories that transcend time and place.
