![]() ![]() It’s fitting, then, that as Season 2 moves away from the books and expands the world, it also moves towards excellence. When I reviewed Season 1, I opined that the show was good on its own, but only fair as an Anne adaptation. The whimsy of Anne ( Amybeth McNulty) and her adventures with Diana ( Dalila Bela), Ruby ( Kyla Matthews), Gilbert ( Lucas Jade Zumann), and others, is back in full force. Season 2, however, has a major shift in tone. The first season of Anne ended up growing on me, but I was still a little disappointed in its preference for dark moments instead of dramatic triumphs. The plainest moment can be made beautiful through her flowery descriptions, as the former orphan gleefully embraces of her new surroundings. Windswept and full of gorgeous landscapes and costuming, the series felt like it was too focused on the grit of life rather than the wonder of it - the latter of which the character of Anne Shirley has always been known for embracing. Though I've finished all 10 episodes of Season 2, I’ll keep things spoiler-free for those who haven’t yet started (or finished) the journey!Īs a diehard Anne of Green Gables fan, I wasn’t totally convinced by the first season of Netflix’s adaptation, Anne with an E, from creator Moira Walley-Beckett.
