Call The Midwife and its ilk might include darker subjects from time to time, but lacking the nuance of serious drama they can never truly tackle them - so why bother?

It might be a bit obvious sometimes, but its warm, open tone, its friendly, empathic treatment of its characters and its life-and-death subject matter all come together to make for something unique.

As one of the show's best characters, I am excited to see Shelagh continue to have a compelling storyline this season. Joy is wonderful, but there is more narrative potential in heartbreak.

Call the Midwife is both historically unsparing-the grim realities of poverty drive most episodes-and gorgeously hopeful.

It's nice to see the writers stay on topic, and it actually makes the forays into tough territory that much more interesting. If you like healthy doses of both comedy and drama in one helping, than Call the Midwife is a great show to be on board for.

Their stories are always engaging, not only because midwifery as it was practiced in the '50s is so interesting, but also because the midwives themselves are fully realized characters.

What makes Call the Midwife special is how the stories grip us on a human level.
