Despite the periods of melancholy and turmoil, this season feels more energetic and subsequently lighter because of the faster pace. It also is more comfortable in its skin and handles humor in its everyday situations deftly while also poking fun at itself.
More of the same: superb visual vistas; darkly gothic plotlines that show a baffling disregard for the homespun charm of L.M. Montgomery's books. [6 Jul 2018, p.45]
With season 2 of Anne with an E I have found my new all-time favorite television series. After the sometimes sloppy and seemingly haphazard scripts and editing of Season 1, we have established Anne's place in the Cuthbert family, in Avonlea, and on PEI. Every scene, every line, every action, every character served what felt like artistic perfection. And I cannot help but get giddy and excited every time hear the theme songs, every time I get to see the artistic montage that accompany the opening credits. The way each and every character came to multi-dimensional life in this story was also achieved so amazingly. The best!
Loved season 1! Couldn't wait for season 2! Very disappointed with season 2 beginning with episode 7, and it immediately lost my interest. Not sure why writers/producers feel the need (or pressure) to introduce **** topics and try to make a political statement. Great actors, cinematography and music. Wish they'd kept it light and enjoyable. When will writers/producers/directors learn? So disappointed.
The acting is very good. The scripts this season are terrible. The entire season has revolved into PC. They have been successful in turning a interesting show into a predictable, boring, and illogical mess. Season 1 was wonderful. Season 2 was terrible. We will not be watching season 3.
CAN ANYONE SAY SOAP OPERA? 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. 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, always sounding like she's reading from a prose and poetry book, 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 **** thoughts. There go the writers making their political views! Maybe in season 3 we'll get to meet a farm hand deeply in 'love' with his horse. Yes, there were **** 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, the writers are simply implying this; 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 does not embrace godly values; it's just another show that attempts to teach immorality wrapped up in a warm fuzzy 'olde world' type-cast setting.
