After some hesitation, I finally decided to give the new Anne with an E on Netflix a try. Why the hesitation? Well, I have fond memories of watching the 1980\u2019s mini-series with my mom. I remember when we would go to the local library, rent the VHS tapes, and weep together. I didn\u2019t want to muddle that sweet nostalgia. But, it was time to give this new series<\/a> a chance. After binge watching the first seven episodes of the first season (spread across two days thanks to a pleading family), I have to say that this is definitely NOT the Anne of Green Gables of my youth. But, that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n

Before I get into this, I should say that the casting in Anne with an E is right on. The main actors bring their characters to life and pull you into the story. Also, you can tell at a glance how much care went into the crafting and styling the sets. When introducing this series to the next generation, the non-80\u2019s influence and clear visuals are much easier on the eyes. When I looked up some clips from the older series, Munchkin couldn\u2019t get past how “fuzzy” and big the womens’ hairdos were. So, did we like the new series? You have to read all the way to the end to know for sure!<\/p>\n
