Anyone watch "Adam Ruins Everything"?

[Athene]

I'm familiar with the videos. They're alright, I guess.
I think I posted "Adam Ruins the Suburbs" here once in a discussion about redlining.

Maybe I’ll give it a look. Still binging ‘Call The Midwife’ (highly recommend it, btw), so it’ll have to be after that.

I love Call the Midwife!

Adam Ruins Everything isn't really a binge show. It's more of a "I have 15-20 minutes to spare right now." kind of show. You can skip all around. Mind you, it has some stupid campiness to it, but it's a great onslaught of information.

It isn't so much an 'I can't spare the time for it' thing as it is me not being able to switch mental gears that quickly.  Unless this Adam bloke is going to deliver a baby in the East End in 1962, I'm not going to be able to give it the attention I should.

I don't watch much TV and watch even fewer movies so I don't have any streaming devices and even recently cancelled Netflix...all I ever seemed to do with Netflix was scroll the guide trying to find something to watch.

'Call The Midwife' sounds interesting and I can get it for an okay price on Amazon Prime...tell me more so I can decide. When I do get interested in a show I tend to binge watch.

Sell me on it...

If you had  Netflix, you'd be laughing. It's based on the memoirs of a nurse/midwife who worked in the Poplar neighbourhood of the East End on London in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

It centres around a convent called Nonnatus House - some of the midwives are nuns, some aren't.  They frequently deliver babies in conditions of appalling poverty, and the show deals with such topics as back alley abortionists, the introduction of birthcontrol pills, unmarried mothers, the Cuban missile crisis, the thalidomide nightmare, and so on.

I tried, but Adam ruined the experience.

I just cancelled Netflix about a week ago - I guess I could sign back up.

Well, well, well - the cancellation doesn't kick in for week. Guess I can check it out and see if I want to re-subscribe.

***************Okay - I'm in. Thanks for mentioning this series. This is the kind of thing I enjoy.
