Fantastic!This is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. The stories and characters are so rich. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will love the characters. Great show!.Score: 5/5

Pure LoveSome of the best works on the screen today, a return to our past, the beginings. what can possibly surpass the birth of a child? On the other hand, having studied under nuns and their use of a measuring stick still haunts me, but has made me a better person today. Miranda Hart makes this series work and I was jealous of that bobby kissing her..Score: 5/5

Fantastic showHope there is a second season cause its a great show.Score: 5/5

Fantastic showI watched the first episode and was deeply drawn into the rich characters and compelling story. Set in the poverty of London's West End, it is a bit reminiscent of Dickens. But it is equally modern, tackling the emerging issue of woman's reproductive health and rights in the 50's. Highly recommended!!!!!!.Score: 5/5

Just wonderful!I am in ex-pat living in London, I love everything there is about london but was dubious about this show. I have read the book this series is based on so was slightly worried they might steer more towards the shock value and embellish from Jennifer Worths books (there are more than one and they are all lovely). No such thing. It is wonderful. Sometimes gut wrenching and heart breaking, but so was that time. An eye-opener and an incredibly heart warning account of post WWII years in the East End, both families and the nurses, nuns and midwives are represented fantastically. It well and truly does the book justice. I do recommend reading the book too as there is so much more to learn about these people and the history! The Christmas special just aired here and I was 100% impressed and moved! WATCH IT!.Score: 5/5

Absolutely wonderfulI saw the preview for this and was very interested. The show did not disappoint me. Quality programming with engaging characters from the love fraught Jenny to the Nun with dementia and everyone in between. Once again amongst the absolute junk found on regular networks and cable, PBS stands out. I would also recommend Mr. Selfridge and the new Sherlock Holmes..Score: 5/5

Episode 1 is NOT free...... in spite of the "Free Episode" announcement, I just got charged for the supposedly free episode. It's not even done downloading. I would cancel it, if it was an option, and if I would get my money back, since it's supposed to be FREE. iTunes staff, please fix this, I am curious about the show and would like to see the "free" episode", but, frankly I'd like my money back since I wasn't aware I'd be spending it on this right now..Score: 1/5

AMAZINGI love this show cause it's real but filled with hope. LOVE it!.Score: 5/5

Great show but edited for North America :(Great show. Twice the price of the US store. Not the UNCUT version available in SD only in the UK store. How hard is it to get uncut HD at a not double-the-market-value? It is 10 dollars in the US and 10 pounds in the UK but in Canada it is 20 dollars! IF this were the uncut version i would pay the extra $10. There are 7-8 minutes cut from each episode for the North American release because PBS doesn't do no advertising. This seems to happen with EVERY British import that isn't Doctor Who. Its not like there are commercials on iTunes or/and a 60 minute time limit. Please re-issue this with the not-edited-for-PBS version of the episodes..Score: 2/5
