I absolutely loved Downton Abbey, despite my thinking I would not, so I thought I'd give another British series a try. Call the Midwife is based on a memoir written by a midwife who worked in the poor section of East London during the 1950's. It took a little bit to get into it, but I really enjoyed the characters, the stories, and the time setting. The midwives are generally fresh out of nursing school and are living in a convent with nuns, who are also midwives, so it's a contrast between the strict lifestyle of the nuns and the young girls who are making their way, usually as their first time out on their own. This season is only six episodes, so I was just starting to really get into it and then it ended. I'm really looking forward to Season two!!!-----
