I am a midwife and I LOVED this series!!!,
By
This review is from: William and Mary: Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)
As a midwife, I have no time to watch television - but I watched this series, every minute of it - and loved it. It was alternately warm, funny, silly, ridiculous, predictable, not predictable, and wonderful! In addition, with the exception of one very short segment, it portrayed the life of a midwife extraordinarily well. The writing was terrific, and the juxtaposition of Mary's work as a midwife, and William's work as an undertaker, especially in episodes 6 and 7(or was it 7 and 8?!)was brilliant. The acting is great and the characters (okay, Mary's mother is a little overdone!) engaging. The development of the relationship between William and Mary is outstanding, and her portrayal of midwifery noteworthy. I made time to see every episode, and it was well worth it each time -relaxing, fun and touching. My partner liked it, too - when it was all over, he asked if now I would sit and watch 12 episodes of something like "The Terminator" with him - of course, the answer was no! - but he actually was the one who would often say to me, "So, do you want to watch the next William and Mary tonight?"

Endearing Characters and Entertaining, Well-written Story,
By Donegal Dan (Southwest United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: William and Mary: Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)
This is a charming series about the ups and downs of a pair of single parents who meet through a dating service and manage to make things work despite many misunderstandings, aborted plans, eccentric relatives, unusual professions, and teenage problems. However, lest you get the wrong idea, this is not a British version of The Brady Bunch, thank God. It is a well-written, funny, poignant and fast-moving saga of people trying to get together and make a go of their relationship. In the process they have to deal with, among others, a wacked-out and really irritating mother (the bride's), a decent but rather clueless ex-boyfriend, a not-so-decent and intrusive ex-husband (maybe), four teenagers of varying irritation quotients and their own professional problems. My only criticism of the series is that there are a seemingly endless number of childbirth scenes (the heroine being a midwife and all) which get a bit repetitive after a while. Otherwise, a very entertaining and endearing series with excellent performances by all, especially Martin Clunes. Highly recommended.

A Complete Joy,
This review is from: William and Mary: Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)
If you're tired of detectives, lawyers, policemen, and neurotic housewives,
you'll find William & Mary totally refreshing and delightful! We laughed and we cried, and we absolutely Loved the characters - what more can you ask?
