Anne with an E (2017–2019)
5/10
Fine show. But it is not Anne of Green Gables
6 December 2020
The show is well made, acting is good, sets are nice. However, modern media has once again ruined a timeless classic by injecting it with their modern ideas and dilemmas and social issues. Don't get me wrong, a show about a young girl in the late 1800s dealing with abuse and hardship and all the struggles involved growing up in that time sounds like a great show. But it is NOT Anne of Green Gables. This is supposed to be a happy, wholesome show that teaches life lessons. Not this mangled mess. They're just capitalizing on the Anne franchise name. Another big issue is Anne's character. She is so unlikeable, cringey, manipulative and conniving. That is so wrong. Yes, book Anne lies sometimes and has a temper, but the show could not have gotten her more wrong.
