Call the Midwife takes tragedy seriously, dwelling in the promise that medicine might treat human suffering as something essentially spiritual, not merely mechanical.

I think the BBC was going for "heart-warmingly upbeat" when it commissioned yet another series of Call the Midwife. Sadly, what it got was more "gut-churningly twee".
