Call the Midwife is still the only show I’ve ever seen do an incest story… right, for lack of a better word. Probably because it actually had a point, namely “If the least bad thing to happen in the workhouses was a brother and sister committing (probably non-consummated) incest, how could we as a society have allowed such inhumane treatment to have happened for so long?”

(That and it was based on a true story. Although, with no disrespect meant to the late Jenny Worth, I really think she probably fudged or embellished some of the details.)
