Who recommended Call The Midwife?

[Curmudgeoness]

Damn it. That was so damned sad. Now I am going to have to eat a pound of fudge.

You coulda warned me!

Oh, and BTW, it was a very good program.

[IVoteDFL]

1. Really? Going by the previews I saw, it looked kinda... boring

Maybe I'll give it a shot if you guys think it's good.

[Curmudgeoness]

4. Seriously, this was the first time I watched it,

and I think I am already hooked. I didn't feel lost for long and really figured the characters out quickly.

8. it's excellent

and it's got a great message and AMAZINGLY ACCURATE sets and costumes.

2. me me me!

I love this show!

[Curmudgeoness]

5. It was too sad!

It didn't sound like a sad program! Actually, I had no earthly idea what to expect, but that wasn't it.

[CurtEastPoint]

9. It's serious but has light moments. It is so well done, as is most BBC stuff.

6. You don't realize how true that is. nt

12. Bwahahahaaaa!! I am SO stealing that.

7. Tonight's episode was really sad

I'll admit that the series didn't sound so good in the previews, but I do like it.

[Curmudgeoness]

10. So are you telling me it isn't always so emotional?

I wasn't sure if I was willing to tear my heart out every week.

This was particularly hard for me because I had an uncle die from pancreatic cancer in the 70's. At that time also, it was a death sentence with no hope as soon as it was diagnosed. I don't know if it is different today, but I vividly remembered how fast it took him.

But I have to say I was so impressed by the nuns' attitudes toward the brother and sister. Who would expect them to be so compassionate and accepting.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. Well, they are Anglican (=Episcopal) nuns, not Catholic ones,

so that may make a difference.

[nolabear]

11. I've only seen the first four (old soldier was the last) but I did.

So now I'm afraid to read any more till I catch up! I've loved it though.

[Curmudgeoness]

13. This was the first time I watched it.

Some here were going on about how good it was, so I figured I should give it a try. But I walked into a really sad one!
