The wartime setting gives The Crimson Field” more gravitas than a “Downton-style soap but the premiere episode never gets too bleak.

It's a similar mix of highstakes drama and old-fashioned soap, but it's too soon to say if it carries the unexpected bite of "Midwife."

My wife and I watched the first episode last night (we record everything). Another terrific show in the tradition of "Upstairs Downstairs," "Downton Abbey", "House of Cards", "Brideshead Revisited" and all the other great BBC offerings throughout the years. Strong storylines, interesting characters, a great setting (WWI frontline hospital), great dramatic sense—the show has everything needed to make it into a classic that belongs with those already mentioned.

This show debuted in the U.K. a while ago but debuted on PBS on Sunday night. It's about nurses, orderlies, and doctors at a World War I field hospital in France in 1915. I liked the flow of the pilot and the way the characters were introduced. I can see this developing into a compelling tale of a period of history we don't hear much about.
