An Original PBS Civil War Medical Series

SUNDAYS 9PM | JANUARY 17-FEBRUARY 21 Based on real events, MERCY STREET goes beyond the battlefield and into the lives of a diverse cast of characters – doctors, nurses, contraband laborers, and Southern loyalists – who intersect in the chaos of Union-occupied Alexandria, Virginia, and the Mansion House Hospital in the Civil War’s early years.

Set in Virginia in the spring of 1862, the six-part series follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposite sides of the conflict: Nurse Mary Phinney (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a staunch New England abolitionist, and Emma Green (Hannah James), a naive young Confederate belle. The two collide at Mansion House, the Green family’s luxury hotel that has been taken over and transformed into a Union Army hospital in Alexandria, a border town between North and South and the longest Union occupied city of the war.

Ruled under martial law, Alexandria is now the melting pot of the region, filled with civilians, female volunteers, doctors, soldiers, including wounded soldiers from both sides, free blacks, enslaved

and contraband (escaped slaves living behind Union lines) African Americans, prostitutes, speculators, and spies.

The intersection of North and South within the confines of a small occupied town creates a rich world that is chaotic, conflicted, corrupt, dynamic, and even hopeful – a cauldron within which these characters strive, fight, love, laugh, betray, sacrifice and, at times, act like scoundrels. This series is not about battles and glory; it’s about the drama and unexpected humor of everyday life behind the front lines of war.

Our WSIU feature will include a suggested reading list for MERCY STREET. Among the recommended books are Hospital Sketches by Louisa May Alcott, Civil Wars

by George Rable, and Born in Bondage by Marie Jenkins Schwartz.

SUNDAYS 8PM

JAN 3-MAR 6

Alas, the time has come! DOWNTON ABBEY on MASTERPIECE, the top-rated PBS drama of all time, enters its sixth and final season beginning JAN 3 AT 8PM, bringing exciting closure to a remarkable series. Where will fate, passion, ambition, and duty lead television’s most beloved characters?

Season six opens in 1925 with a series of crises reflecting the momentous changes that are transforming society. Women’s rights have given Lady Mary and Lady Edith new positions of responsibility: Mary runs the estate, while Edith manages the magazine she inherited from Michael Gregson. Meanwhile, Tom Branson has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Anna Bates faces a murder charge, though many still suspect her husband. And for the rest of the servants, big doubts hang over their jobs. Will great houses and the fortunes that support them soon be gone?
