Anne (titled Anne with an E on Netflix) is a Canadian television series based on the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, and adapted by Emmy Award-winning writer and producer Moira Walley-Beckett.[1] It airs on CBC in Canada, and elsewhere in the world it is available for streaming on Netflix.[2] The first season consists of seven episodes, with Niki Caro directing the two-hour season premiere.[3] The series premiered on March 19, 2017 on CBC and concluded on April 30, 2017.[4]

Cast

Production

According to executive producer Miranda de Pencier, this adaptation of the novel has a different look and feel to past productions, aiming for a "documentary level of realism", as reflected in the extraordinary detail which has gone into the design of sets and costumes.[8]

Personnel

Besides the show itself having a larger number of female characters than male, women serving as executive producer and showrunner, the series has several female directors.[9]

Casting

Approximately 1800 girls on three continents auditioned for the role of Anne Shirley. Amybeth McNulty was chosen for her ability to deliver dialogue which is "incredibly thick and dynamic and beautiful", according to Miranda de Pencier. Showrunner and scriptwriter Moira Walley-Beckett describes her as at once "luminous," transparent, smart, soulful and emotional.[9]

Filming locations

The series is filmed partially in Prince Edward Island as well as locations in Southern Ontario (including Millbrook[10] and Caledon).[11]

Music

The opening theme is the song "Ahead by a Century" performed and originally composed by Canadian band The Tragically Hip.[9]

Themes

Moira Walley-Beckett had this to say about her treatment, which is darker than the previous productions: "In this day and age, themes of identity, prejudice, bullying, being an outsider, searching for a way to be accepted and how to belong are entirely topical and super relevant, and those are themes that are built into the story of 'Anne.'" She went on to call Anne Shirley an "accidental feminist", and how she "really wanted to tell this story now."[9]

Broadcast and release

The series initially premiered on March 19, 2017 on CBC and aired on a weekly basis, concluding on April 30, 2017.

The series debuted on Netflix on May 12, 2017 under the name Anne with an E.[12][13]

Reception

Critical response

The series has achieved a rating of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, where it is listed under the Netflix title Anne with an E. The site's critical consensus states: "Anne with an E uses its complex central character to offer a boldly stylish, emotionally resonant spin on classic source material that satisfies in its own right."[19] The series has received a rating of 79 on Metacritic based on 15 reviews.[20] A sizeable majority of reviewers of the series have been women.

Emily Ashby, writing for Common Sense Media, calls the series an "exceptional" and "spectacular" interpretation, giving it four out of five stars.[21] Writing of the 90-minute premiere episode for the Toronto Star, Johanna Schneller was appreciative of Walley-Beckett's departures from the novel, bringing its subtext to the fore: "Reading between the novel's lines and adding verisimilitude, she gives us quick but potent glimpses of the miseries many orphans faced in 1890s imperialist culture."[22] Hahn Nguyen, reviewing the series for IndieWire, concurs with this assessment, saying: "Rather than ruining the series, they give the context for why Anne would be filled with gratitude for the beauties of nature, basic human decency and having a family to call her own. Montgomery had based much of Anne’s need for escape into imagination on her own lonely childhood, and her stories have always had an underlying poignancy that made them all the sweeter."[23] Jen Chaney, writing for Vulture.com, agrees, saying: "What distinguishes it from other previous Anne iterations is its willingness to harden some of the story’s softness, just enough, to create an element of realism that period pieces, Gables-related or not, can be inclined to avoid."[24] One of the few men to have reviewed the series, Neil Genzlinger, writing for the New York Times, commenting on reports of darkness and grittiness, goes so far as to call the adaptation "richer" than the source material: "Ms. McNulty’s Anne is still wonderfully ebullient and eminently likable; she’s just not the one-dimensional figure of other adaptations".[25] Annie Hirschlag, writing for Mic, suggests that a genuinely contemporary Anne is bound to reflect the current televsion landscape and wider culture of its times (the 2010s): "Since today's entertainment is peppered with antiheroes — characters who are far from perfect, even occasionally villainous — it makes sense that Anne's familiar idealism is fringed with darkness and agony."[26]

Some reviewers were more ambivalent, if only about Walley-Beckett's changes to the story. Canadian novelist Saleema Nawaz, who reviewed the 90-minute first episode for Toronto Life, said she enjoyed it more than she expected, particularly the set designs and costumes, as well as the performances by McNulty and Thomson, and she approved of the choice of theme song as reflective of the continued relevance of the source material. She was more ambivalent about how far the series intended to stray from that source material, and disapproved of the "manufactured drama, such as Matthew’s wild horse ride".[27] Isabella Beidenharn expressed similar feelings. Writing for Entertainment Weekly, she said: "putting the source material aside, it’s a fine show on its own", and conceded that "inventing a dark side might help Anne With an E fit into today’s TV landscape".[28] Allison Keene, writing for Collider, agrees that Anne is a good drama on its own terms, but allows it is "only a fair adaptation" of the novel, at its best in the home scenes: "Anne with an E is undeniably the most stylish adaptation we’ve ever seen of Anne of Green Gables. But its desire to reveal more of Anne’s miserable past in order to be more true to what the desperation of an orphan is like feels at odds with Montgomery’s story."[29]

Sarah Larson, writing for the New Yorker, was the least impressed with changes made to the story, arguing that they alter Anne's character to the point of non-recognition. While she acknowledges that bringing subtext to the fore is a fine idea, she is not pleased with the execution, saying that the result is part "the Anne we know and love" and part "untrustworthy stranger", calling the alteration and addition of scenes a "betrayal" of Montgomery's novel, comparing the treatment unfavourably to Patricia Rozema's 1999 adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.[30]
