    Amazing

    Started watching after my dad died and my mom slept over on the weekends. We didnt get the whole thing at times and it was hard to catch in Canada so I ordered all 4seasons from amazon Australia. I cant watch this in the entirety. Its relateable and classy. It tells a big picture with many secrets but not far fetched. Gravity in friendship. All actors are amazing. Honestly its incredible. So fortu eate to have this video. Cant wait to pass it around. Better than netflix series.

    almost got it

    First, the show is great. Although the music is more mid 60s girl groups than the summer of love rock and roll.the cast is wonderful, the subject heartbreaking. the girls are delightful.

    this practice went on all over the world, the Magdalene laundries in Ireland. The Tennessee home society in the states which goes back 100 years. Then there is the American Indian debacle of assimilating the children, take babies away to become white or/and slaves, etc. All the way back to the beginning of Europeans coming here. Much of this was done under the guise of religion.

    The greater good mentality has always been for the good of the church, rich or those who want to be rich. add a dash of self-righteous sterile matron types and people suffer.

    Call the MODwife

    This Aussie take on drama and misfortune surrounding single pregnant women in the late 1960s Australia presents compelling stories and characters. Stanton House represents a place single women lived and worked during their pregnancy, and promptly separated from their newborns. Callus male doctors, a starchy matron, a crusading newcomer, and an ensemble of pregnant female characters who are diverse in looks, life experience and attitudes populate this effort. They seem to be hurtling toward epiphanies and revelations.

    This must have been a hoot for set dressers, wardrobe, makeup and hair: every shot looks like a period snapshot. The music track is a little forced and the vintage automobiles are all pristine, much of the wardrobe looks more like party apparel than casual clothing, nevertheless I can't take my eyes off of it.

    Hidden Gem

    I found this show on peacock and ended up really liking it. Australian has some really good shows nobody knows about. If I had one complaint about the show it would be Annie's singing her voice literally had no soul to it and I dreaded her singing parts lol. Other than that it was a super good show.

    Predicable storyline's, unlikable characters with questionable morales.

    Wish I could give it a zero. 1 is being generous.

    Predictable storyline's, questionable morales of the cheaters, dark and depressing storyline's where nothing good happens.

    The actress who plays Joan always look like she's swallowed a lemon. You can tell the actress was pregnant in real life with the weight she was piling on.

    Awful show have no clue why this is rated so highly. Shows lack of morales and intelligence if you actually enjoyed this.
