Amazing Grace

TVNZ 2, 8.40pm Tuesday

Just who is Grace, and what’s so amazing about her anyway? In this new Australian drama series she’s a midwife, which to be fair is one of the more amazing professions out there. What sets this midwife drama apart from an episode of One Born Every Minute is that Grace’s next patient is the child she gave up for adoption 17 years ago, and she’s shown up to the birth centre to have a baby of her own. One moment you’re an under-the-pump midwife, the next you’re a grandma — and what we thought was a medical drama is suddenly a heartwarming family drama instead.
