I've been watching "Call The Midwife" for ten years, and rarely does an episode end with making me cry a little. At times, it may border just a tad on schmaltzy, but I love the genuine goodness of the characters as they tackle hard issues of the 60s and 70s--abortion, homosexuality, birth control, Down's syndrome, birth defects caused by Thalidomide, and extreme poverty. Each episode features compassionate people doing all they can to make their patch of earth a better place.
Tonight's finale for season 10 was followed by an hour-long retrospective and celebration of ten years. The actors, director, writer, and special effects team took viewers behind the scenes and made me want to start back over with Season 1.
As a passport member of PBS, you can watch Masterpiece dramas, news, documentaries, independent films, and travel shows--either as they are airing or earlier. If you want to see previous seasons no longer on the PBS site, they're all now available with a Masterpiece Subscription through Amazon Prime.
