A Masterpiece!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

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.

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.

As a mother of an 11 year old, I love that there is a show that my daughter can obsess about with such good messages. The story line is sweet, the characters are sweet, and my daughter loves it!

I'm sorry there are so many people who seem so upset because "Anne with an E" is neither Lucy Maude Montgomery's original, nor the Kevin Sullivan mini series many of us grew up obsessed over. But as Anne says at the end of season 2, "new isnt bad, it's just different." Folks, this is just a new perspective.So Anne and Gilbert aren't constantly fighting and seem more or less aware of their feelings, even if they're in denial. So there are gay and trans people in Charlotte Town (or at least visiting, be realistic, they probably don't all live there). So Gilbert brings a black man home to Avonlea after sailing on a steam ship....so it's not in the books. That doesn't mean it's the end of the world!When Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote Anne's story originally, it was progressive for its time. Anne thought for her self, was imaginative and highly educated. She was full of mischief and adventure and brought excitement to Avonlea. This new retelling honors that spirit by tackling issues that L.M. never wrote about, but surely existed at the time.I can't help wondering if people who so strongly oppose storylines that confront issues of race and LGBTQ issues aren't a little like Avonlea's "progressive mothers". You want a new Anne, but you want everything to stay exactly as it was. As Cole challenged Billy Andrews, "you might want to think about why you like destroying things."Take "Anne with an E" for what it is: a modern retelling of the story of an orphan girl growing up, finding love and belonging in a world of madcap adventure. Do not ask it to be what has come before. Love those things too; I'm not getting rid of my old books or dvds, but I love the new Anne as she is. Maybe even a little more (at least differently), because she is AWAKE!
