Call the Midwife Season 8

What BollyAI Thinks

Series 8 continued the 1970s setting with storylines shaped by Thatcherite economic pressures on the NHS and the communities Nonnatus House served. The season was notable for handling a storyline about female genital mutilation with directness that British television had rarely managed on the subject - more thoughtful than most comparable treatments. The ensemble dynamic remained a strength; the show had outlasted many of its contemporaries by understanding that community was its real subject, not individual stardom.
