I read the books when I was third and fourth grade; watched the previous miniseries and movie adaptations, and am thoroughly enchanted by this new series. Amybeth McNulty embodies Anne in new light and delivers a fully-formed character. Three episodes in and I am hooked on the evolution of so many characters.
The child actors are phenomenal and treated with great detail and continuity. The simple route would be less dimensional school pupils, but this series brings them all into view fully formed, with great individuality.
Three episodes in and I'm falling in love with the elderly couple who adopted Anne in a very real way. Geraldine James portrayal is unfolding quietly and convincingly. She is helping to complete the heart of this tale and the charm of it is that the character of Marilla seems as surprised by it as we are.
What a phenomenal effort.
