It's really hard living in two countries. One can never get on a television show bandwagon at the right time (zone). Take, for instance, my slow-to-catch-on, then completely obsessed, and eventually betrayed reaction to Downton Abbey. Or the fact I fit 7 seasons of Doctor Who into two months of binge-watching "enculturation." 

Now I come to find out that everyone - EVERYONE - is right. Call the Midwife is brilliant. Heartbreakingly, wonderfully brilliant. 

But SPOILER ALERT*. If you haven't seen any of it, don't read further. Or keep reading if you don't intend on seeing any of it and then I'll endeavor to change your mind. Because really.
