Anne with an E

I just came around this page to check for the airing date of episode two and saw there were no reviews yet. So I created an account to write my first review on IMDb, long overdue but definitely worth given the treasure this series is promising to offer.

It is hard to say what exactly makes this series so great. Based on one of the strongest books I read as a child, there certainly is a great base for the story, yet -- as with any adaption of a classic -- just as much a chance to get it all wrong. Luckily, as much as can be said after the first episode, I think we are in for a real treat.

Lets start with the characters. Amybeth McNulty as Anne comes around like an incarnation out of my childhood imagination. Her performance is inspiring, intoxicating and captivating, just as much as the description of Anne in the books of L.M. Montgomery. Geraldine James and R.H. Thomson are performing just as great, both their roles are very minimal in expression but so much on the point. I have not had such an emotional roller coaster in a long time -- and I am ever so glad to see that while almost every other of the great TV series of our time requires war, violence, a terrorist plot, plenty of guns or at least tough bad-asses up to whatever even tougher stuff, a story about a young imaginative and poetic girl searching and fighting for her place in the world, is outperforming everyone else around.

That said, I think this series comes at a very important point in time. It certainly is the story of a strong, intelligent and confident young girl refusing to accept the role a girl supposedly should have in her world, constantly questioning and exploring. We cannot have enough of these kinds of role models. It also is so great to listen to her language, so colorful and descriptive and so much richer than most of what is being aired today. It is the joy about every small wonder that Anne is discovering and describing on her journey, that is contagiously reaching out to me as a viewer, and I celebrate her perspective for its positiveness. More scope for the imagination is what we need!

This is one of my favourite shows.

I loved the old version and this one is a beautifully updated version of that story. I see a lot of hate written from purist with no scope of imagination, who dislike this. However, it is about time that we accept the fact that rural 1900's Canada was not all flowers, red roads and poetry.

This modern version does not look through rose coloured glasses so we can edit out what we don't want to admit (like LGTBQ people existed back then too, First Nations and African people were wronged terribly and women were oppressed) and yet while addressing these injustices it was still true to Anne of Green Gables core ideas. The love of family and friends.

The chemistry between Marilla, Mathew, Anne, Gilbert and Diana is perfect and I can't think of a show that has moved me to happy tears more than they have. It is an injustice to trash this show just because it doesn't fit perfectly into the mold of the old show or book. After all Anne didn't fit into anyones mold and that is why so many people love her.

I read recently that the show has been cancelled and a deeply disappointed. This show was so good at portraying a real family, with real struggles all the while keeping with what makes Anne of Green Gables so special, that I feel as though I am losing a part of mine. I will miss it.

One of the best shows I have ever watched I highly recommend it to everyone doesn't matter what age you are. Everyone will find something interesting in it. Amazing acting, scenography, costumes, music and of course storylines

It is true that we never got over the cancellation of "Anne With An E", one of the most acclaimed series by the public over the last few years. The production, based on the book "Anne of Green Gables", by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was a joint responsibility of the CBC channel and Netflix.

The whole plot is centered on the transformation of Anne's life, an orphan who, after years of experiencing a series of humiliations by the current social assistance system, is going to live with a single woman and her brother.

The program had a strong optimistic message, especially due to the fact that the protagonist, in the meantime, not only revolutionizes her own reality, but also that of her adoptive family and everyone around her.

Now, on the night of last Wednesday (22), the website ScreenRant published an article in which it commented on the reasons why the production would have been taken off the air. According to CBC executive Sally Catto, the registered audience numbers were below expectations and failed to reach the age group between 25 and 54 years - which corresponds to the broadest audience of the broadcaster and, consequently, would jeopardize its continuity.

The fans, in turn, continue to cheer for the production to return on another channel or platform. We sign below and await news! It doesn't hurt to dream, right?

This show is fantastic. Gorgeous cinematography, lovely music, fantastic characters, and excellent acting. It has something for all age groups. My elementary -aged daughters and I both love it.
