While Netflix's extensive content library includes political thrillers, science fiction, and many other genres, one of the streaming platform's most successful series is actually not that intense. The literary adaptation Anne with an E holds a significant place in the platform's collection with its imagination and captivating story. The series is inspired by the classic children's novel Anne of Green Gables written by Lucy Maud Montgomery in 1908. However well you know the story, the series is quite impressive and engaging.

Like the novel, the series tells the story of a young orphan taken in by an elderly man and his sister. This emotional tale has never gone out of style, but the 2017 series has reinvented it. Comprising three seasons, Anne with an E highlights the personal traumas of its vibrant character Anne (Amybeth McNulty) as she grows up, alongside the injustices of the world around her. While it may not be entirely the same as the original 1908 novels, the Netflix series is a modern and enchanting adaptation that captures the essence of the story. Anne with an E proves that the century-old tale is timeless and deserving of a place among Netflix's best series.

As its title suggests, the key to Anne with an E is Anne Shirley; the agile and talkative girl's optimism and joy set the series apart. The story begins when 13-year-old Anne is sent to live on a farm in the beautiful town of Avonlea. However, this is an unexpected situation for the unmarried siblings Marilla (Geraldine James) and Matthew (R. H. Thomson) Cuthbert, as they were expecting a boy to help with the labor. As the unexpected family grows closer, imaginative Anne and the bewildered Cuthberts embark on a new life together. However, this journey is fraught with challenges. Initially, Anne is not fully accepted by the Avonlea community, but as she adjusts to family life, she makes friends and develops a rivalry with her school's top student, Gilbert Blythe (Lucas Jade Zumann).

Ultimately, Anne with an E is a coming-of-age story where Anne learns the harsh realities of the world and discovers who she is. The character's undeniable personality adds an intriguing dimension to this narrative. Anne constantly voices her opinions, even at times when she should remain silent. This behavior highlights her tendency to cause trouble. When combined with her adventurous spirit, strong determination, and constant imagination, Anne becomes incredibly compelling. However, she is not perfect, especially regarding her vanities; she openly despises her bright red hair. Life is never easy for Anne as she grapples with the trauma of her past. Yet, she never loses her enthusiasm for life, which adds a sense of hope to the series. When she finds the love of a family with Marilla and Matthew, that hope becomes even stronger.

Despite being based on a classic children's book, Anne with an E makes significant changes and incorporates modern themes while highlighting Anne's trauma. Before the series, Anne led a difficult life, and Anne with an E illustrates this through flashbacks, explaining why she dives into her imagination so quickly or reacts strongly to bullying. This element makes the series a bit darker than fans might expect. However, the series always offers hope by showing how Anne learns from and heals from her past with the love and support of her new family. Additionally, Anne with an E, the
