Telly insta-rec!

If you're looking for a show that passes the Bechdel Test with flying colours AND does all the extra credit: Check out Call the Midwife! I've been marathoning it all weekend.

It's a bit twee and sentimental at times, but it relishes female friendships and female family and is terribly fun. Miranda Hart plays the loveliest character and I just want to hug her.

Not to mention the costumes! :D

Oooh, I love Call the Midwife! Have you finished series 2 yet?

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

YES! Oh, CHUMMY. The doctor and the nun! *flails* Oh, there had better be a season three. Where has this show been my whole life?

[lullabymoon]

I know! *flails as well* It's been renewed for a new series and a christmas special. I can't wait!!

One of my FAVORITE shows, and the thing I loved most (OTHER THAN CHUMMY GAAAH WANT TO BE HER BESTIE) is how genuine and sweet and supportive the women are to one another. It's just so refreshing and lovely.

I binged on that a few weeks ago and can't wait for season 2 on Netflix over here.

I know! It's just incredibly supportive and everyone is just THERE for each other. I just can't get over it.

Hee! Season two is quite fun. Jenny comes more into her own, which is fun to watch.

(did you see Miranda Hart when she was learning survival tips from Bear Grylls? fun)
