One episode always sticks in my mind. A young woman has married a sweet older man. He marries her for love and to help her pull of severe deprivation. In the show she is in labor at home crying that she cannot have the baby. When the baby is born it is obvious his father was black. The young wife had had a brief affair with a very handsome black man, maybe an American soldier I can’t recall that detail and doesn’t matter for the story. In any case the birth father is totally out of the picture. The young wife is dying of shame at the thought of hurting her husband. Her husband comes in and sees the baby. He picks up the baby and says, “My son! Look at my wonderful son.” Later they show him pushing a pram in the neighborhood calling out to his friends to come see his son. What Grace, what nobility. Best show ever on television.

I think Call the Midwife should be included in high school curriculum! It sensitively covers so many important social and historical topics!

This show is absolutely amazing. I mourn every time a beloved character leaves the show. And every single character ends up being loved! Dearly miss Chummy and sister Evangelina.

The BEST acted series I've ever seen! I'm a retired labor nurse. I shed many tears watching these events!

I think the reason this series has done so well is because no matter the topic, it is covered, with love, compassion, and a desire to show, that no matter who you are, or where you come from, whatever stage in life youre at, or what ever you're going through, you have worth. No matter a viewer's position on the topics covered, abortion, contraception, or religion, politics, etc, we are all in the room with these families, and we feel the pain, the anguish, the love, and the laughter they do, and there is so much that we can mull over and think about. I have watched the series multiple times, and it never gets old. I have seen something new or focused on something new each time, and I feel like I'm with old friends and family. Thank you for this behind the scenes peek.

How I wish film and TV makers would think about viewers needing to hear the dialogue over the music. They need to adjust the volume and cut the music when someone is speaking.

I was a Pediatric nurse in the 60th.Delivered many babies and premature babies ,in Germany. This show is very accurate , detailing this time period. I am reminiscing.

That last statement by the actor playing Dr Turner brought real tears to my eyes. There are so many everyday people throughout history who; through their faithful working out of their vocations (whatever profession they are in), have left the world transformed...bit by little bit. We indeed owe them a debt of gratitude...beginning with learning and telling their stories; however humble. This show does just that, and does so marvelously!❤

In my opinion- the best tv series ever. It has drama, comedy, sometimes suspense. It always has a lesson to learn every episode. I hope it continues for years and years to come!

I loved this series! My maternal grandmother was a practical nurse mid-wife, and she birthed 14 of her own children. All at home. I have so much admiration and respect for midwifery.

I don't think that there will ever be a show that will top Call the Midwife! 100 stars 🌟 to the writers, actors, set designers, costume designers, research assistants! I have watched ever episode several times and always cry, laugh, and think! One would hope that today's society has become more caring, more thoughtful, more understanding and supportive, more loving by learning about the hardships, struggles, and victories of the very recent past. A million thank yous to all of you for all your hard work and professionalism and for sharing your talents with us.

When my mom was pregnant with me, she had terrible morning sickness. She was given a prescription that was supposed to help, (she doesn't remember the name of the medication). Her nausea was so bad taking the pill would immediately cause her to vomit, so she gave up trying to take them. I was born in early 1962. I think we may have dodged a bullet.

I watch this whole series over and over again. It is my respite from the world of today with no community other than what we can find online, and which I have mostly unplugged from. I watch this show for the love it portrays, the community, the Christian values and for the history. Because of this show, I've bought a hand crank Singer sewing machine, tried Garibaldis and Quality Street and clotted cream. I still cry at every birth. I still weep and feel my own mortality in every death bed scene. I love each character and mourn their passing or moving on to other things. This show reminds me that people are good and life is good and loving people and helping people happens even today, though at times it feels as though it doesn't.

I don't think I've ever watched one episode of this wonderful series when I haven't shed a tear.

I started watching Call the Midwife on PBS and lost track, so when I saw it on Netflix I started from the very beginning.. This show is one of the best shows I’ve ever seenl.. It shows all the good and bad of pregnancy, birth and even diseases of the. 50’s and 60’s. Covers everything.. I remember them all. I will watch it again, I’m sure..

This is , without a doubt , one of the best series on TV. I absolutely love all the characters and the realistic stories! Thank you

Well. I literally just this moment finished season 11. Have been binge watching for weeks. This show has helped me "feel" again ... I commend the writer. And have fallen in love with ALL the characters. Really miss Chummy 💘 hope she comes back... Every person in this show has my heartfelt thanks... Gives me faith in humainity

I'm a retired Labor /Delivery nurse. Love this programme and the accuracy. Thanks for making this documentary.

What i appreciated most about the series aside from it being a realistic true event base stories, were the beautiful characters of the nurses and nuns, how gracefully and kind they interacted. There was none of this evil surmisings, greed, jealousy, hateful, patheticness u see in most movies. They were working together as a team, were humble, respectful, kind, loving, trustworthy and genuine. I always felt touched by the series w Jenny Lee in it and inspired to love more. ❤

I’m a nurse, and we all love the show. It is extremely realistic in regards to the scenarios We see around birth and health and relationships and socioeconomic status. I mean, obviously we have more modern equipment and resources nowadays, but in uncomplicated birth, that can turn complicated suddenly still happens. I also really love how the show progresses through the sexual revolution, and addresses issues, like thalidomide, abortion, birth control, etc.

This is amazing to hear from the actual cast member themselves this way. I grew up in the 1950's and we were fortunately middle class when the men came back from the war and a housing boom was happening. My first home was a small brick bungalow that was built with after war money and the Gi Bill which helped my dad to buy that home. By the 19We were living in a a second, only slighlty bigger home in a family neighborhood. We had four children, two adults in tiny two bedroom/one bathroom home. My two brothers slept in the unheated breezeway. We had one vehicle that my dad drove to work and my stay at home step-mom brought her two children to this second marriage. I don't ever remember going hungry but we worked hard to get and prepare our food and we ate a lot of gross canned vegetables. Only on Sundays did we have a chicken or a pot roast baking in the oven while we went to church. We drove an hour or so to pick apples and peaches that we canned and my step mother sewed almost all of our clothing. We only has home haircuts and perms, but every one in our neighborhood was in the same situation, multiple children, mothers at home and children in school and father off to work. I think the big difference was that the war had not touch the architecture of the USA the way it had Europe so while live was lived very thrifty it was not the hardship that England and other countries had to bear.

Wow, this special was stunning -- for one who has never been to England but does love history and is a huge CTM fan, just the visuals alone made me feel like I was in Liverpool and not where I am actually stuck. (😉l hate Ottawa!) It reminds me of helping my mother do laundry with a wringer washing machine, which l enjoyed as a child (l don't know why?🤔) The poverty isn't what's nostalgic to me, it's the creativity & innovation we learned from it-- even something like making new cards from old cards! I am soooo glad l grew up riding a bike, doing crafts, playing board games & records, walking in the outdoors, and talking to friends *face to face* . We all had after-school or weekend jobs & an activity or sport. We didn't need to be enrolled in soccer, gymnastics, baseball, swimming & tap dance at the same time to be entertained or over-stimulated! Kids were definitely in much better shape back then as well, because we didn't suffer with overly developed thumb muscles. Kids today really don't know the sweet & simple things they missed😕. I hope there are more CTM specials like this available on Utube!🤞🏻. Well done all round, thank❤️ you for this!👍🏻😃🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦✌🏻

My great grandmother was a midwife in rural Appalachia. Most refered to her as a "Grannie Woman". She was an herbal healer with generations of healing tradition behind her back to Ireland and Wales. Her grandparents grave stone bore their names and the words, "Herb Doctors, born in Ireland".

I trained as a midwife in a very similar setting. A wonderful Christian hospital in Woolwich in London in the early 60’s. I also spent several childhood years living in the East End where the series is set. So I could really relate. I was so touched when I saw the first episodes. It brought back a great rush of really wonderful memories. I think many people respond to the Christian values shown in the shows. I have watched several other documentaries on contemporary midwives. There have been so many changes and birth seems much more medicalized today. Of course mothers had lots of support and in those days an average stay after first baby was 10 days, with follow up with the midwives at home. At ten days after coming home, the Health Visitor appeared and the support continued. I think this period was the golden age of the National Health Service.

My aunt was born in the very early 1950s in Texas and was diagnosed with severe autism as a very young child. There was so much misunderstanding and so little support for parents, hell they were blaming mothers for their children's autism at that time, that it breaks my heart. I'm glad that this series has been so thoughtful and careful in the stories they tell and the *way* they tell those stories.

I've watched the series several times. I was going through a really rough time and living a bad lifestyle. But this show was something that I used as an inspiration to regain my drive to live life in a meaningful way. The combination of the Sisters and Midwives gave me new role models. It was hard to leave my past, and very lonely. That's how I managed to watch the series so frequently. But I am doing well now and working in a position that is a true vocation. Life is a blessing. Thank you so much for making this series! This is a wonderful way to share the stories of some of the real life in people who are connected to these stories.

It's the CARE that I miss. Our healthcare system is a system, humanity, kindness and care is missing. I watch CTM for just revelling in a doctor who will listen, a nun who will hold your hand or a midwife who sees you as a person.

Call the Midwife has been a favorite of mine since the first few minutes of season one, episode one. I have watched it though over and over. I am an American 40 year nurse who always desired to be a midwife but was unable to find training in a feasible local area. My daughter birthed 4 children with midwives which gave me a small bit of vicarious learning. The stories done by Heidi with Jennifer Lee Worth's books as the basis have been the most realistic and satisfying portrayals in any country. Many thanks to all the actors who were in the series and everyone behind the cameras part of this show.

I am a RN with 4 children. I have been a huge fan since episode 1. Thank you for a beautiful meaningful show about life.

East Canada here and feel very privileged to be able to have access to watch this show. I am so moved and deeply reflective when watching this series. I so look forward to so many more to come. 💝🇨🇦

I love this show. They never seem to run out of story lines. Heidi is an excellent writer. You have the Nonnatus House family's continuing background story skillfully interwoven with whatever the weekly story is. It's jam packed with love, loss and excitement. There's something new every week and you find yourself eagerly awaiting the next episode. You never want the season to end; when it does, you find yourself uttering the immortal words of Oliver Twist, "Please, sir, I want some more."

Call the midwife is so beautiful, it is so needed in this world right now ❤

This is just one of the best tv shows of my life. I was born in 63 and all my life with television shows, this is up at the top. I watch it intently at times and at times I fall asleep to it. It is like a big family in a big house with familiar voices and delightful theme music.

I’ve been watching this series for years! The best series there ever was. I end up in tears all the time. Sometimes in joy sometimes in sorrow but that is life. I am so happy to have found this show to give insight to the people who made it and who lived it. THANK YOU!

I have watched all the seasons of Call the Midwife but jut today came across this show. I was born in 1954 in the US Air Force hospital in Wimpool Park, which I understand has been torn down. To realize that CTM covered a period of time beginning just a few years after I was born really hit me. To actually visualize how things were in England at that time is eye opening! Thank you all for making the series and this "behind the story" historical info. Both of my parents have passed now so it made me feel as though I had a glimpse of what their life was like at that time. Thank you so much.

This series has a special meaning for me, as my great great grandmother, Betsy, was a midwife first in Birmingham and later in West Bromwich. She died in 1928, so a bit before "Call the Midwife," but I think it gives an idea of what her work would have been like. It was only on the 1911 census that her occupation was recorded, which wasn't unusual for married women. Here, she's recorded as a certified nurse and midwife and would probably have had a hands on training, but to get her certification, she would have had to prove her competence. She was probably illiterate. Certainly, she never signed her name on numerous birth and death certificates of family members. When she lived in West Bromwich, she lived in a terraced house a little like Stephen McGann's childhood home - there were 12 children. In the neighbouring five houses, there were other family members and their families. Next door was my grandmother's house, housing 6 siblings, every single one brought into the world by Betsy.

Thank you for this Beautiful documantery. I was Born in ‘54. Remembered the childrens play in the streets. Traint as a nurse in maternity, in a hospital runnen by Nona. I wanted to become a midwife but that didn’t happen. But a lot of memory using the OLD fashion tools. A trip down memory lane. Love the series!❤❤. I’m from the Netherlands.

As an American Nurse, I wish things were the same today. I love the support and education the nurse provided the new mother. It remindd me of home care nursing in a sense. How special to aid in the delivery and have a chance to see the mother and baby up to 14 days post delivery. Lovely show how mid wifery, and Nursing has changed over the years

The love and respect shown by the parents of the children affected by Thalidomide is truly moving! Each child is a precious gift!

It's good to know that I am not the only obsessed and binge watching it! My mother, who was a nurse starting in 1958, has watched and confirmed how accurate it is. I was born in 1959 and love the historical accuracy!

To Call the Midwives is my best program. They are perfect in every way. My grandmother was a midwife from her home in Newfoundland and Labrador in the early 1900s. Every actor has done such beautiful work to make us the viewers feel like we were right there. I love the scripts they made me laugh and cry. I am from Nova Scotia Canada and enjoy your work.

I just binge watched all 11 seasons in time to start the Season 12 premiere on Christmas night! This is the best series I have ever witnessed! Incredible actors, incredibly written! I worked as a labor and delivery nurse and it took me right back. I could not believe how real it seemed. I lost my Dad last May and have been immersed in grief and this program has been quite cathartic. One episode with a district patient in heart failure hit entirely too close to home and I cried throughout with a broken heart but actually felt a little lighter and not so alone after. Thank you for making such an incredible program!!!

I never thought I would be so obsessed with this show, but I am. I love how it chronicles the history of the late 1950-1960’s.

Who doesn’t love Dr. Turner?

19:56 Our family didn’t have a lot of money, my father was a blue-collar worker. We always had enough to eat but lived in rental homes all over the state. Never, did we ever see or experience living conditions like the one that said this photographer documented. Quite shocking. I was born in Portland Oregon in 1958. Not delivered by a midwife, but rather at what was then called Multnomah County Hospital on Marquam Hill, Portland, Oregon- now known as OHSU- Oregon Health Sciences University. I was the seventh of nine full-term pregnancies. As far as I know, all of us were born in hospitals. The first in 1941, and the last one born in 1961. All but one survived to adulthood. I’m posting this because I am startled at the cultural difference between, say Liverpool England and Portland Oregon in the same span of time in history. I’m pretty impressed with the organization and dedication of these midwives in England. Both my own children were delivered by midwives but it was definitely at a hospital. Homebirths are done in the US, but most people have their babies in a hospital facility- not because pregnancy and childbirth are looked upon as an “Illness“ in the US, but rather to facilitate ease of intervention should anything go wrong with a mother or baby.

This show is amazing. I have watched since Season 1 and I have laughed and cried and have been educated. I love learning, so that part of the show really attracts me, but the characters have all entered my heart and they have left holes when they leave the show. I find that I can't wait to see what will happen to the main characters next. There have been some real surprises over the years. I think that this is what keeps me coming back to the show year after year, it's like visiting with family each week. I just wish that the British shows did more episodes each season, I can never get enough!

This documentary was made with the same exceptional care, research, & dedication of the entire series, from day one! The analogy of building a beautiful cathedral stone by stone was brilliant!! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in the Series & in this Documentary! All of you have contributed to such a memorable & significant historical (fictional/non-fictional) account of an important part of being human!

I love this series more than any other. The spirit and goodness remains a healing balm. When our world seems callus and terrible, the makers of this beautiful series remind us that goodness and mercy exist. A large number of people produced it and millions relate to it. We couldn't love it if we did not have empathy and godliness in us.

this is one of the best humane TV show. it makes you cry it makes you laugh, but most of all it makes feel what it is to be human. I Love this show and am sad everytime. a series ends.

I've loved every minute of every show. I think it shows humanity caring for humans in difficult situations,,always trying to do the right thing. Imagine, finding out that a drug is causing such harm, and going door to door to retrieve the pills. So different that what goes on today. And they do it all with courage and humor! Bravo to all involved!

Call the Midwife is one of my very favorite shows. The attention to detail and the heart felt story lines depicted by the cast and crew are just simply wonderful. There is nothing better I think, then a nice cup of tea and a couple biscuits while watching the show. Of course I always make sure I have a box of tissue near by, as I'm sure to cry and laugh with every episode. Thank you for this lovely documentary and further in-depth look at the actual lives.

Thank you for this excellent documentary, especially the interview with the delightful thalidomide survivor. What sets CTM apart from most media is the intelligence, authenticity, optimism, elevating the best rather than worst in humanity, and the strong tradition of women helping women. As stated, pregnancy is a normal function and not a disease. Hospitals provide amazing, life-saving care when it is truly needed. However, most women need time and tender care that respects their individual needs during pregnancy and delivery. Good postpartum care would prevent so many problems, including child abuse. Since CTM can only come forward in time so far, I would love to see an offshoot addressing other projects. Maybe the nuns working in Africa with polio victims, child nutrition, the natural helpers that preceded social workers, etc. It is such a delight to watch something uplifting rather than risking brain cell loss on silly, snarky darkness.

A tribute to all who participated in this exquisite collection of stories so finely depicting a bygone Era. With Vanessa Redgrave's narrations, bringing it all together so succinctly. Beautifully done! Bravo!!!

This was wonderful! I just watched the 2022 Christmas special and am so looking forward to the next season. I am a retired OB nurse, and I know all of my colleagues love this show as much as I do.

As a baby of the 60's I followed this show with keen interest. Mentioned was the prejudice so many people still felt against anything different. Not just black and white, but so much more. I was born in Germany, to a British soldier, married to a German wife. Even after two decades after the war, there was still a wall of distrust by either side. As a child I heard comments about not marrying within your socially set confines. I love how this program touched on social stigma, and how it was eventually overcome. Great show. I am completely transported into the settings when I watch it. I have even dreamed about the characters, as they were played so well. All the way around a truly amazing program.

My late mother in law delivered five children with midwives in Liverpool during and after WWII. Because of the bombing, there was very little housing and she gave birth at the homes of her parents and her in-laws and twice in hospital when complications arose. There were no indoor toilets and baths were in a tin tub before the fire. The beautiful,funny and sometimes harrowing tales she told of childbirth back then in a poor area were very much like Call the Midwife. She 54:18 had one five month miscarriage and the doctor told her to burn it in the fireplace. But everyone was in the same boat, and they supported one another.

I loved this series and find it close to reality. The ones that hit me hard were the the abortion and thalidomide babies. I worked as a NICU nurse in the early '80s. I cried every time we lost a baby. I ended up having 2 premature babies after weeks of bedrest. I was lucky to have my sons.

I was born in "57". I recall the term "Mongolian or Mongaloid" children who were looked down upon. I was not yet 9yrs old & I recall how frustrated my beloved "Mamà" was at hpw many made fun of these beautiful children. Well, they of course are renamed or re-termed "Down Syndrome. Better yet, this beautiful child, Samuel has Down Syndrome. They are beautiful, talented, loving & they are such a Blessing. 🙏 "Isa"

I have watched the show for years. I think its compassion and understanding of all people, regardless or their situation, made me love the show.

I love this show, it’s very special and family oriented, and great Hope and Love in humanity. Thank you! Congrats to all those that produced it, wrote it, actors… Tysm.

I just finished Jennifer Worth's book, after already watching all 11 seasons. I now have a new appreciation for all the characters and especially Sister Evangelina.

"I think I came into the world apologizing and have been apologizing ever since!" So heartfelt and humble. This is so touching seeing where "Dr. Turner" was born and grew up.

This was a wonderful documentary. It's obvious that those who work on this show are very committed to making it the best possible representation of midwifery they can. The quality of the show has continued through 11 series. I have watched the whole production about three times and it never gets tired.

You would have to be soulless if this story doesn’t move you! Such a well done show. It has opened my eyes to learning more about that drug and the horrible birth defects that developed because of it! Every episode makes me cry like a baby. My husband can tell what show I am watching just by looking at my face, lol!

This was so great. I love how they are telling real stories. I think the fact that it's not portraying a perfect idealized story makes this a great show. It's my all time favorite show.

I simply cannot thank you enough for this fabulous series. I have watched many of the episodes over and over as they have kept my faith in life and humanity as I have been struggling through these last three difficult years. Just about every single episode makes me cry because I love to see these very strong women birth these miracles. Bless you all for this wonderful series.

I am most grateful to Heidi Thomas for all that that she has brought to this show and given to the whole world. Bravo Heidi! May you go from strength to strength.

You can hear McGann''s accent thicken up a little when he's in Liverpool, it's wonderful.

Each episode brings a glimmer of hope and joy. It's such a beautiful series that reminds me that there are still people full of selflessness and dedication through their work.💓

This is one of the best TV shows ever made!

It is such an amazing series. In many ways for me, it is a woman's history lesson and a medical one. It is a documentary of how our world has evolved and why our contributions to it are very important to the well-being of the next generation following us. Here in America, we going through, once more, trying times as females. We have a certain segment of our society that is trying to move us back into those difficult years when being a fertile female is not only a health risk to us but to our families, and our relationships. So many women have worked so very hard to improve the lives of their children. This unnecessary fight, these problem-making people are using this issue to distract us from tackling real-life problems, like how to mentor children with learning disabilities, cure debilitating illnesses, and resolve the housing crisis that has been plaguing the US for now, too many years. Still, the series gives women like me so much hope that I can contribute something to improve the lives of children and their families. To be a witness to these incredible, if merely a representation of, the people who came before us, We get to share their experiences and learn from their work how to better ourselves just a little bit more.

love this show! miss Jenny and Barbara and Chummy.

Hello from Canada, I am a huge fan and this video of real life history was portrayed beautifully, thank you call of the midwife staff and Steven all all the actors who invest so much love and time into accuracy and respect for lives that were and are lived , thank you and God bless this true to life made for Television Series❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧🥰🙏🙏🙏

I LOVE this show. I am always heart broken when it looses an actor. I fell in love with all of them. They are all brilliant. I don't want it to end.

Wow to see such beautiful strong people in such poverty ridden circumstances is very moving . Thank you for touching my heart with every episode ❤

I wish chum would come bk

I also wish more people/ writer's would put out series like Call of the mid wife 💞 instead of the garage that's being pushed out. Thank you again for all your time 🙏🙏

I lived my own version of this incredible show. There are too many things to commend about it to mention but it has become very personal for me. Like so many others, commenting here, I actually stumbled upon it for the first time while sitting with a woman who has multiple disabilities, and she was watching it ( season 11) Unlike other shows however, each episode was a beautiful story in and of itself so I didn’t feel lost in the storyline coming in so late. I was hooked! I have been binge watching from season 1 ever since like so many others have mentioned. At least for the situations that are explored in the series, I have lived through 4 of them personally. In the early 1980s I gave birth as an unwed mother of 19 and placed my son for adoption. I know that feeling from so many of the angles explored. I am so fortunate to have not come from poverty however and to have had resources that were available to me that were not for women in the 50s and 60s so affected by poverty. I can relate however to the shame, loneliness, possible loss of my future, (as I was in college at the time) the secretiveness (from my father) and the difficult decision to place for adoption. I also went through the the last minute change of heart, etc. I remember so clearly walking out of the hospital with my wonderful mother and aunt who are the only family members who knew about it and the tremendous sorrow and frustration I felt as they were just desperate to have me “happy again”and struggled with allowing me to grieve while delivering the “we just need to MoveOn“ peptalk. I am happy to say the adoption went well, and we were miraculously reunited when he was nearly 20 years old. He is now almost 40. I am also a birth mom, who adopted one of my three sons at birth after I had 4 yrs earlier had to have a partial hysterectomy, because I had a retained placenta after my previous birth. Experiencing that kind of loss and terror was also explored in the series and took me right back in my mind and heart. . Remarkably, I also experienced as well complex feelings that come along with abortion. I came to appreciate beyond measure the role of a midwife and the relationships and challenges they encounter and the love , patience and endurance those who bring life into the world must experience and it doesn’t end after they deliver a baby. It’s easy to go through traumatic things in life and forget how many people around you are also affected. There are not many episodes where I have not shed a tear or two. Thank you to the creators of the show for keeping it so real while being respectful and gracious and appreciative and showing more than just a glimpse of what women have been strong enough to endure from the beginning of history.

I am thrilled to have found this video! I remember being so enthralled with the Midwife show which vanished after a few episodes on PBS. I now realize I missed my calling and the wonderment of watching the miracle of birth. I remember at college seeing the first televised birth at the school, the sniggering and immature laughter whilst I had tears running down my face with seeing the MIRACLE of a baby being born. Now I'll see if I can locate the episodes of this show. I PRAY the next installment of 7-UP will happen.

I worked in a US Naval Hospital for a short time as I worked in a lot of different departments in the medical profession and I delivered a good amount of babies😂 I watched all the seasons on Netflix 2 years ago and it has to said, the best show I’ve seen in real long time.

Absolutely outstanding series! The acting the actors and storylines are top notch. Totally addicted!

When I first started watching Call The Midwife back in 2014, I had come across it on Netflix. I was bored, looking for something different to watch. Didn't have cable or access to live television. I had no idea that I would fall absolutely in love with the stories, the characters. The entire show. It was the best idea out of boredom that I had ever had, and I always look forward to the start of the new series, and then the one day of the year when we all get the same episode on the same day. Christmas. Never before has a show made me want to binge it over and over again. Made me laugh and cry all in one episode. Made me angry at certain points. This is a beautiful show, and I believe I will be saddened the day it comes to an end.

Call the Midwife is an excellent series. I have watched it since the very beginning. I enjoy all of the regular characters and the stories. I miss some of the characters who were on at the beginning and are no longer on the show.

Such an amazing series, riveting and so heart felt...so many tears I've shed watching this series. Beautiful!

I have seen season 1-10 two times over. And i just love the show.

I have watched every season that there is of Call The Midwife here in the USA. Netflix has brought this wonderful series to me and I have loved every minute of it. I was born in 1976 in a hospital. All of my sisters were born in a hospital and they were all born in the 60’s. Midwifery was not a common practice here in the states like it was in the UK? It wasn’t even like that in the early 1900’s. A lot of neighbors would help others to give birth to their children such as in the days of the great depression. That stuck around for a very long time in rural areas. In the cities, babies were born in the hospital unless they were very poor and then again a neighbor would help in the delivery. This is a stellar series and shows such love and care that was given to so many women a babies over the years. ❤❤

“Call of the Midwife” is my very favorite! It is so very, very well done, by all! 🙏🕊️🙏

Quite honestly, I think that midwives should be the primary care givers of pregnant women. In my country, obstetricians are the normal care givers for pregnant women. Midwives only take care of the small number of women who choose them and meet the requirements for midwifery care: which is a low risk pregnancy that stays that way throughout the pregnancy. Home birth is not legal in all 50 states.

I never get tired of watching this show! Started watching it on Netflix in 2012.

So enjoyed this! I found the series on Netflix and fell on love! One of the best series ever created!

This was one of the best series ever made! It’s so real, so beautiful, so emotional and so human. Thank you!

Can only endorse the sentiments of the people contributing to this humbling documentary, to the many midwives and nursing nuns who deliver babies today, we honor you .

I love this show the music alone can make all the hairs on my neck stand up .

I’ve watch this program since day 1 and have loved it from moment 1. Every character is so charming and heartfelt. Sheilagh will always be my favourite

This makes me want to go back and binge watch it all over again ❤️

This is one of the best series that PBS has done! Thank you all. ..

This series is my all time favorite. The stories draw you in, you feel their joy and/or their sadness. With each birth you knew what the mothers were going trough (having had 3 babies myself). I loved all the characters and was sad when they left. I may end up watching this again. A great show to binge watch!

I've watched from the beginning when this wonderful series first started & was immediately captivated by everything it encapsulated! Wonderful stories that draws you in, the writing, back drop of every episode, the characters & character development is marvelous. Since I was a child I was drawn to the stories, poems, writing, movies & TV series out of Britain, Europe in general. Over the past decade plus, American TV series are just awful, but Call the Midwife like a list of others is the reason we are able to enjoy these gems. It's because of unique untold original stories, great writing & acting that fortunately hasn't been lost by some!! I'd like to thank all involved for your hard work & dedication to bring us all this wonderful series!! It's greatly appreciated

This has been the best show ever brought to television. The characters are like old friends.

I absolutely love this series! I’ve watched and rewatched it 3 times! I’m currently on my 4th time of watching it! I love the feeling of comfort & familiarity of the characters. ❤
