Call the Midwife

This show is about a group of midwives, nurses and nuns living in London during the 1950s to the late 1960s. Very good show to watch. I was very hesitant to watch at first, but since I’m waiting on my falls shows to come back on, I gave it a go. Not disappointed at all.

The show is on Netflix and has 10 seasons right now. You get to know the characters who visit expectant mothers of one the poorest areas of London. The midwives, nurses and nuns help to deliver the babies in a town called Poplar.

You follow their personal and professional lives with all the joy and heartbreaking drama that comes with both situations. Each episode is about a new mother giving birth and the look inside their lives.

If you want something that will be enjoyable to watch, try this. It will have some sad moments but will make you smile and laugh at times.

Shining Girls

Season One

This show is on Apple TV. It’s one of those shows you really have to concentrate on it. It’s about Kirby who gets attacked but survives. Harper is the guy going around looking for women to murder.

Kirby is helping a journalist, Dan, figure out who the killer is. Kirby has these dreams after the attack where she is constantly shifting back and forth from reality.

The show is based in Chicago but you do see some scenes from the Depression era. At first, you think Kirby is crazy; but she is just trying to survive and help others if she can. Kirby also puts herself in danger trying to figure out who her attempted murderer is.

It’s only eight episodes and a quick watch. Try it out!!

This episode goes into more detail about how young Jack got the scar on his forehead.

The Pearsons are having a big anniversary party for Rebecca and Miguel. The event was held at Kate and Toby’s house. Toby has this big green grill and is proud to be cooking on it. Kate and Toby are having their daily stabs at each other while trying to host this party.

During some of the scenes, Kate is teaching young Jack how to go the park making make him feel more independent. It’s amazing how she is teaching young Jack how to walk with his stick while singing a song; and how young Jack is to listen to the sounds around him while walking freely. They go the the park every Saturday; and young Jack has learned the way with little help. Toby is a mess watching him cross traffic knowing that young Jack is a blind child. Kate on the other hand is teaching young Jack independence. What a great skill to teach young Jack.

There is a ceiling leak during the party and a plumber has to be called. In the middle on the focus of the ceiling getting fixed; young Jack gets out of the house and walks to the park by himself. It was so scary to watch, but he made it. Once young Jack gets to the park, he encounters unfamiliar territory and falls down, bumping his head.

Season Six Episode Nine

Big 3 Trilogy – Randall

This trilogy was the best one ever. You can see the Randall was always a protector, but he really stepped up after their father died. He has always been so serious, but I imagined he thought he had to be stronger than the others.

Randall takes this road trip with his Mother; and he will never forget it. Rebecca even explained why she did not pick him to be her guardian. Rebecca knew that Randall would stop everything to take care of her. Rebecca remembered every special memory of Randall as a child which made Randall feel good.

I always thought Rebecca felt guilty for keeping Randall from William, but this episode shows that she really loves Randall. Rebecca insisted on making new memories with Randall by making stops on the way to Boston.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Even though in the past Randall found his birth mother, you know that Rebecca is number one.

Season Six Episode Eight

Big 3 Trilogy – Kevin

This episode is mainly about Kevin. I think Kevin was a little selfish as a kid. He was always whinning about something. Even when he became a young adult; he seems to always have these problems.

I like this Kevin now; not the younger Kevin. He is insecure but is now at least trying to be more considerate of others. Even though he is a movie star, he has not idea what he wants to do with his life.

Him taking those twins on the plane for a trip to the cabin was a brave move. He had a time on the plane with them and everyone was looking at him with the dirty look. His trip back on the plane was a lot better; and he was getting smiles from the passengers.

In my opinion, Kevin is looking for the love he lost. He wants the family life he had when his Dad was alive. Hopefully, in this final season, he will find love again. Who will he end up with?

Season Six Episode Eight

Big 3 Trilogy – Kate

This episode was nothing like I expected. Kate finally goes to San Francisco where Toby works. Toby is very excited and planned their entire weekend. Kate on the other hand does not seem happy to go; and she has this negative energy.

Toby wants his family to move there and he has looked at a house and everything. Kate is not pleased about that.; she gives him a hard time. They go to his boss’s house for a party and she is not happy about that. Kate finds out that Toby does not tell her about a job offer he had back in LA and she gets very upset. That news just sent her over the edge.

In my opinion, I think she is being just a little irritated. She is not able to look at the big picture. He did plan their future life without consulting her, but she has to realize he loves his job and is not leaving it. All I can think of is that she does not want to move; and expecting him to eventually find a job closer to home. I think she is also jealous because Toby has lost all this weight; and she feels left behind. I know from the previews that they end up breaking up; not sure who will ask first. Kate just seems to always want her way and not willing to compromise when it really matters. What do you think?
