    Anne with an E was, for part of season 1, like re-uniting with an old friend. In season 2, however, the writers are up to their old tricks teaching the viewers untruths designed to DE-sensitize an already sick minded infatuation driven world.

In season 2, however, the writers are up to their old tricks teaching the viewers untruths designed to DE-sensitize an already sick minded infatuation driven world. Anne of Green Gables was a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, set in the late 19th century, a time of righteous living, religious standards and relative social purity for the majority of honest hard working folks, but now the writers want to scandalize even this cleaner social time period so that it looks to be like today's wicked standards of filth. Anne, in season 1 was a bit too saucy for a youngster in the late 1800's, but in this version, is an annoying know-it-all girl with indecent thoughts who 'teaches' everyone around her that it's OK to be a little wicked as long as it's done with her ridiculous sounding 'romantical' thoughts, meaning sexually motivated.
    Also in season 2, apparently, several 'good folk' are involved with gratuitous homosexual thoughts. Yes, there were homosexual persons back then as well, but the writers are giving the viewers the distinct impression that this was the norm, but people were ashamed to 'come out'. No, this was not the norm back then as it is today, assisted by writers teaching people how to rebel and usher in a freewheeling anarchistic society where no one is governed by rules in the least. These very writers who claim that society is too judgmental are themselves left-wing socialists using judgment in a wild and wicked way. Please do NOT allow your children to watch this show; it is NOT Ozzie and Harriet.    … Expand

    It just doesn't work to remake period pieces with the lens of current culture. In fact, it makes me want to gag. As if all through time people should have been the same as all the self-judged morally superior cutouts of today. This is a presumptuous bastardization of a classic. I also don't remember the original Anne being so obtuse and over-the-top. I did not find this Anne endearing,It just doesn't work to remake period pieces with the lens of current culture.

    Walley-Beckett doesn’t pander nor play down the darker elements in the character’s life. ... James and Thompson are great choices as the Cuthberts, neither of whom display much emotion, yet the veteran actors are quite skilled at revealing the characters’ inner feelings. The real find is McNulty. The young Irish-Canadian actress seems perfect for Anne with honesty in her performance.

    In the first few episodes of Anne With An E, the familiar tales resonate--Anne’s quarrel with Mrs. Lynde, Marilla’s missing brooch--enticing new Anne fans the way the original novels did for Anne Of Green Gables in years past.

    Anne with an E dares to get bold and messy. It might push the messaging too far sometimes, but like its heroine it rarely feels insincere.
