I loved Anne so much. She's resilient, She fights for the people she loves no matter what. She should rightfully hate the world for how it has treated her but yet her love takes over. Simply an Angel.

Like with many adaptations, audiences expect the new to encapsulate the old and be completely faithful to the source material. I used to be guilty of this until I saw Tim Minchin's Groundhog Day and realised how narrow minded I had been in expecting to experience only what the film had delivered in the past and learned to thoroughly enjoy this new invention. The same goes with Anne with an E. It is neither the book series, nor the old tv series (which I loved as I was growing up). This is a beautifully cast and constructed version of an old favourite. That is a prime point here. The characters are superbly filled out by every actor cast. So many have complained about the pc nature of the show. Well we aren't living in the 1900's anymore. Nor the 80's. Topics get updated for the society we live in, make it more socially relevant. It's nice to think Anne, a forward thinking, head strong character in any iteration, might tackle these issues in such a way and, if they had been included in the book, I'm sure she would have. I feel many of the above reviews are just people's own biased views on the topics covered in the series rather than an assessment of the series itself. One was even entitled 'disgusting' which there is nothing that fits that description in this wonderful series in the slightest. If you're stuck in the past in your views of Anne Shirley, or your views on society, then maybe give this a miss. But if you're open to a new interpretation and a new approach, this is a definitely delight.

I enjoyed the first season. The darker, grittier tone was an adjustment for me (having grown up a fan of the 1985 adaptation), but the choices made sense and grew on me. But this season the storyline was a bizzare mix of great characters and scenes, out-of-place modern references, and a stifling push of political agendas. I am all for displaying love, respect, and tolerance in media (much needed these days), but the way this was done was as subtle as a sledgehammer.

D Completely destroyed the original story and superimposed modern leftist ideals over the framwork of a classic. Don't waste your time.
