Celebrating the Heart and Humanity of Call the Midwife
Set against the backdrop of post-war London, Call the Midwife weaves heartwarming and poignant tales of midwives navigating love, loss, and societal change, all while delivering new life amid the grit of East End struggles.
The character Trixie Franklin, played by Helen George, was initially meant to appear in only a few episodes but became a fan favorite and remained a main character throughout the series.
The series is based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, who trained as a midwife in London's East End in the 1950s, and the actual events depicted are drawn from her experiences.

Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
