Call the Midwife Season 2 [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Outstanding series with some of the best acting I’ve ever seen in a television drama. I could watch this series for hours at a time. The only reason I didn’t give it a five out of five was that I didn’t care for the Christmas episode. It seemed drawn out for some reason. Yet you take the other Christmas episodes in the series and I like them, especially season six with the trip to South Africa. Go figure. Who would have ever figured a series about British Nuns and Midwives could be this good.-Amazon Customer Alpha
Love, love love this show!!! If you like great stories, you’ll love this show. Reading the books now too. Also great! Love, LOVE, LOVE this very British show! The acting, the sets, the writing, the costumes, all perfect! The character are people you will love forever. Just good, clean entertainment. Do not let the fact that a lot of the show takes place in a convent fool you. Or that there are several lead characters that are nuns. This show is NOT about religion at all. It is about women caring for women and children. It is about the late 50’s, early 60’s in the dodgy end of London. It is about the people there, how they lived and loved. How they took care of their own. There is a fare amount of, uh not comedy, but amusing antidotes, too. So, you get it all, tears, laughter, tender moments, tragedy, suspense, feel good moments, heroes and heroines, bad guys and gals. It is just a good show, about great subject matter. Midwifery and babies are a bonus. There is a lot of grunting and moaning (labor and delivery.) So much so, I felt the need to let my husband know I wasn’t watching porn on my computer. LOL. If you could only hear this show, and not see what is happening, it might sound a little like porn.-Janmarie Brown
My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. I lived in London in the mid ’50s. Though a decade after this series is set, it does remind me of life in those times, though there was far more challenges with shortages and 1,000,000 young British men dead and 1,000,000 young women faced with the challenge of rebuilding a great nation.
Partly there is a personal touch. We are blessed with 3 fine daughters, 2 grandchildren, and a granddaughter to be delivered soon. The path has not been without risk or loss. While my role has been largely to anxiously drink coffee, I have always appreciated my wife’s and daughters’ special nature and capability to bring new life to an aging world. This series brings an added dimension to that.-W. Poucher
