It's nice to see the writers stay on topic, and it actually makes the forays into tough territory that much more interesting. If you like healthy doses of both comedy and drama in one helping, than Call the Midwife is a great show to be on board for.

As one of the show's best characters, I am excited to see Shelagh continue to have a compelling storyline this season. Joy is wonderful, but there is more narrative potential in heartbreak.

Call the Midwife is both historically unsparing-the grim realities of poverty drive most episodes-and gorgeously hopeful.
