My good monitor confirms my earlier impressions. Highlights too bright,
excessive contrast. If you have the original RAW files, I would go back
and pull down the exposure. Some of the histogram must be clipped.
Then, if the midtones are too dark, bring up the brightness a bit.
Adjust contrast as necessary to get pleasing skin tones. If you get the
color RAW conversion right, it will be easy to make a good BW
conversion.

I'm looking at the shots on my crappy laptop. From here the highlights
look too bright. Perhaps a bit too much contrast overall.
So, I am relearning black and white.

I guess step one is getting something that looks right on a monitor.
How did I do this time?
