More Critic Reviews for Call the Midwife Season 8 All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1) This was a return to form: an absorbingly paced, perfectly judged slice of Sunday-night pleasure. Jan 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Now in its latest season, Call The Midwife is a well-oiled machine. It's part Pollyanna, part Shortland Street and part Dr Phil. Mar 14, 2019 | Full Review… Malcolm Hopwood Stuff.co.nz The toasty, Victoria Wood-style humour of Call the Midwife was as ever balanced by a clear-eyed look at the tougher side of life for women of the time. Jan 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Although you know full well it deals in schmaltz and shameless heartstring-pulling, Call the Midwife exerts a strange power. Jan 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Carol Midgley Times (UK) Top Critic Would that the dialogue and characters enjoyed the same loving attention as the preggers ladies or the props. Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (5) Audience Reviews for Call the Midwife: Season 8 Sep 22, 2019 Season 8 was horrific. I used to love the show when it was based upon Jenny Lee's true memoirs, but season 8 descended into pure social justice swill. It showed midwives forcibly removed elderly patients from their homes in the name of the law and helping young girls to leave their families by offering them government welfare. To make it worse, the season focused heavily on the horrors of abortion, only to come to the conclusion, in the last 5 minutes of the final episode, that the act of murdering babies and destroying lives would somehow be made better if it were legalized by the government. And it even showed the abortionist/murderess in a forgiving light. I'm disgusted. Never watching the show again.
