Best TV series. Ever.

I'm not addicted to TV, but I am addicted to good TV. A friend, who knows me well, thought I would like this and suggested I check it out. He got it right!

Based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth; the story follows twenty-two year old Jenny, who in 1957 leaves her comfortable home to become a midwife in London's East End slums. She expects to find a hospital, and is surprised to find that the clinic is a convent: Nonnatus House. Working alongside her fellow nurses and the medically-trained nuns, Jenny has her eyes opened to the harsh living conditions. But she also discovers the warm hearts and the bravery of the mothers; each one a heroine in Jenny's eyes.

It's a BBC series that's aired on PBS but I have have watched the first two seasons with my Roku box on Netflix. My favorite character is Chummy and I melt at the end of every episode when they play the old songs.

I can hardly wait for Season 3 and the Christmas Special on December 29th. I am a confirmed Midwife junkie!

I promise, you'll love it.

For some reason it doesn't post correctly here.

Remove the 's' from 'https' and it should work.

Oh my goodness! Palpitations!

When is this on?

Mtn Gramma,

You can find Season 1 and 2 on DVD. Season 2 DVD has last year's Christmas Special which was just fabulous. I have a Roku box with a Netflix subscription and that's where I found the series. They start Season 3 in March, I believe. It is a BBC series that is aired on PBS but I'm not sure it's on the PBS programming out of the Denver-metro.

I had been saving the last episode so I could watch it with a friend who is also a Midwife junkie. We finally watched it last night and I have to say, it was so so so good!! We both got a little misty eyed! I'm sure I'll be spending December 29th with her at her house so we can watch the Christmas Special together.
