Anne with an E

The series will be a joy both for Anne superfans and for anyone who likes heart-tugging drama.

Despite the periods of melancholy and turmoil, this season feels more energetic and subsequently lighter because of the faster pace. It also is more comfortable in its skin and handles humor in its everyday situations deftly while also poking fun at itself.

Walley-Beckett doesn’t pander nor play down the darker elements in the character’s life. ... James and Thompson are great choices as the Cuthberts, neither of whom display much emotion, yet the veteran actors are quite skilled at revealing the characters’ inner feelings. The real find is McNulty. The young Irish-Canadian actress seems perfect for Anne with honesty in her performance.

Anne with an E both stands apart from the 1985 Anne and connects to it in its openhearted eagerness. McNulty gives an exceptionally deft, nuanced performance that is the equal of any adult performance I’ve seen on television this year. Beautifully shot, and full of marvelous supporting performances, Anne with an E is a fresh version of Anne of Green Gables that newcomers and cult fans can enjoy equally.

The latest entry finds a way to make the tale new again by leaning into its previously untapped darkness. [12 May 2017, p.51]

However much it lingers on the dangers that lie just outside the doors of Green Gables, it’s likely to seem tame to viewers brought up on Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. ... Anne’s never been a simple character. McNulty doesn’t play her as one.

More of the same: superb visual vistas; darkly gothic plotlines that show a baffling disregard for the homespun charm of L.M. Montgomery's books. [6 Jul 2018, p.45]

Uma série maravilhosa! Me salvou em um momento de depressão. Anne é uma personagem real, cheia de falhas comuns para uma adolescente.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The first series was almost OK, although the Anne character can get annoying quickly with all her chattering away and her possible PTSD. It collapsed miserably with the second and third series, which are just a series of lessons in the ultra-politically correct: you get the full load of same-sex relationships glorification; super sad stories of Afro-American discrimination; child abuse; feminist issues etc.. In the last series we get the trousers-wearing, Anne-clone (Miss Stacy) starting a relation with Bash, so we can add inter-racial pairing and of course the Native (Indians?) question, more child abuse and the last two episodes, pushing the flaccid Anne-Gilbert relation beyond contrived. Misunderstandings piling up by the dozen, while Anne always does the right thing shouting it out for everybody to hear.
