1. Call the Midwife | Season 15

Premiering Sunday, March 22 at 7 p.m.

A new era dawns with the Women’s Liberation Movement.

Season 15 transports viewers to 1971 as our favorite characters, including Helen George’s Trixie Franklin and Renee Bailey’s Joyce Highland, lead a march for the Women’s Liberation Movement. Sister Julienne, Dr. Turner and the Nonnatus House team face serious challenges. More babies are being born in hospital, and a complete reorganization of the National Health Service is on its way.

This season sees a premature baby kept alive by machines in a high-tech incubator and a mother’s childbirth agony vanish as she is given a pioneering epidural. Plus, the team handle cases including slavery, carbon monoxide poisoning, male breast cancer, child cruelty, and lupus. Throughout it all, the nuns and midwives are there to hold their patient’s hands.

Period drama fans, welcome to the world of The Forsytes, where money and society dictate the rules in rapidly-changing Victorian London.

Four generations of the wealthy Forsyte family of stockbrokers navigate high-risk investments and the even higher expectations of making the right marital match.

With sumptuous period costumes and a lavish set, The Forsytes will bring you into their family of rivals and lovers, sons and wives, artists and tycoons, and leave you wanting more!
