Our take on Anne with an E
This 2017 series reimagines Anne of Green Gables as a tougher, more modern coming-of-age tale: an imaginative orphan girl fights for love and acceptance in a small, unforgiving community. Lush, emotional and unafraid of hard subjects, it deepens a beloved classic. If its spirited heroine and heartfelt growth moved you, seek out period coming-of-age dramas about outsiders finding their place and their voice.
