Season 1 Review: There are no surprises in this story. All is predictable, sorrows pass, happiness triumphs--a formula that works out splendidly in this endearing tale. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Overall, the pacing of the new Anne is rather slow, but not so much that it ruins the underlying heartfelt emotions that make just about every variation on Anne of Green Gables irresistible. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In the choice between making a good adaptation or a good film, L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables chooses... neither, content with being a dull film and a mediocre adaptation. It’s not poorly done as much as it’s just off, with an interpretation of the story that feels like a blurred copy of the original. Read full review
