Call The Midwife is not exactly plot-driven, and I can’t really imagine watching more than a couple of episodes in a row. Yes, there is character development over the years – especially after it departs from the Jennifer Worth source material, which had nothing of the sort – and even a twist or two. But nothing that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next when an episode ends. In the end, Call The Midwife is about period fashion, social problem of the week (usually but not always tidily resolved in one show), cute, wise Anglican nuns, and – hello! – BABIES GETTING BORN. (Cue tears.)
