I find the relationship between Anne and Marilla to be the most interesting, as both are trying to adapt to the other, even if it doesn't always seem that way. Like when Matthew comes back with Anne in the 2nd episode you just want Anne to run up and hug Marilla, and the fact that it doesn't happen is sad, but you know that there is still genuine affection, which is made clear at the end of that episode. |

I, too found the more harrowing moments to be pretty realistic, considering. Oh, you're only 3 episodes in? It only gets better and better. The actress who plays Marilla is incredible, especially during the sort of moments that you mentioned-- you can still see her affection glimmering through her uncertainty and steely reservedness. Some of the best moments in this first season are the ones between her and Anne, in part because, again, the actress who plays Marilla is so wonderful-- she has great comedic timing. The actress who plays Anne is excellent too of course. (I'm just hoping netflix never makes a Jane Eyre series, because that would most certainly kill me; this one almost did. It's bad enough that each episode title in Anne is from a Jane Eyre quote.) Last edited by Chiomara; 08-10-2017 at 07:04 PM. |

Anyone seen this? I'd be interested but not if it's just True Blood v 2.0....

If it's in the same vein as True Blood though I might just end up deleting the episodes. I will give it a slight chance first though.

You need to watch Episode 3.

Superheroes Decoded. Just started today on History. Really excellent, gives some great insight into the creation behind the likes of Superman, Batman, Spidey and Wonder Woman, including the shocking news that Superman creators were both on the poverty line when the original Superman movie was released!
Also enjoying Robert Redford's The West. Up to episode four now I think.
