The upcoming CBC/Netflix television series Anne with an “E” has received a glowing review in the Globe and Mail by John Doyle, who calls the series “sublimely reinvigorated”:
This version, on the evidence of Sunday’s two-hour opener, is not reverential, nor is it overcontemporized, but it affords Anne Shirley an agency that is formidable. . . . It imagines rather than remembers or reveres previous versions, no matter how beloved they were. This Anne should be approached and appreciated in the same spirit—it’s a sublimely reinvigorated Anne of Green Gables.
