Call the Midwife

Hello my lovelies,

How are you all this week? I've been working a lot recently so finally grabbing my chance to write something. I've been loving Call the Midwife so wanted to do like a mini review of it for you this week.

I'm not sure if its aired in other countries but it is on Netflix if you wanted to start watching it from the beginning. Call the Midwife is a BBC period drama that follows the lives of a group of nurses/midwives as they work in London during the 1950s and 60s. The nurses stay in a nursing convent with nuns helping them as they cope with the various medical problems thrown at them in the deprived district of Poplar, as well as helping deliver a large number of babies each month.

Its such an interesting program and it really makes you get attached to the characters and the things they go through tugs at your heart strings and has made me cry before. There are moments when it can seem quite depressing and you really feel for the people that actually went through situations like these in the 50s. Some of the storylines are so hard hitting and surprising at times. I'm not sure I could manage to cope and keep it together like they seem to.Although its probably not meant to be educational, there are times when it can teach you things from midwifery to what life was like back then.

The cast all seem to really work well together and they play their characters brilliantly. Miranda Hart starred in it for the first four series (currently on series 5) and I miss her character a lot. Chummy was so funny to watch and was the character that brought most of the humour to story lines that could really bring you down. The characters are all so different and all very strong individuals. They each bring something different to the drama that makes it work so well.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. To be honest the only people I know that watch it at the moment are women, but its a program that I think anyone could watch really. You should all go and check it out!

Until next time, thanks for reading :) x
