It’s hard to believe how awesome this show is, so I thought I should let you all know. Here are the four reasons why I love this show. (Seasons 1-2 are available free on Netflix.)
1) Positive Portrayal of Christians
Seriously, this should not be so rare, but it is. Christians in this show display morals, compassion, and common sense, just like the ones I know in real life. How refreshing to see the entertainment industry creating a show that brings this truth to the screen.
2) No Wasted Characters
I won’t spoil it by telling you who my favorites are, but after finishing season three, I think I can say I have fallen in love with all of them. They are real people, just like us – fat, skinny, oddly shaped, and of course multi-dimensional the way a good character should be. I could just hug them and take them home with me.
3) Accurate Historically and Medically
It’s based on Jenny Worth’s memoirs, so it’s a true story. I spoke with a real midwife about the show and she said, “Yeah, that’s basically what I do. I just use a car instead of a bike.” You get a great sense of poverty and health care in the 50’s in London, and how things have progressed, for better and for worse.
4) British People
Because British people rock. We have to put on subtitles to understand what they are saying, but that’s ok, because they rock. Think Downton Abbey, but with better morals, and even better characters and story.
