Palak Jaiswal gives the series a five out of five stars & notes that while classic works of literature are often best left intact, Anne with an E, offers a useful case study of when ‘the remake of the classic is better than the original’

Rotten Tomatoes gave 83 % rating while Metacritic gave 79 based on the reviews.
Right from the first episode, we are plunged into a world long gone, but the prjudices remain. The Brother- sister duo wishing for a boy to be adopted get a girl instead! Their disappointment & the reaction of people around for the ‘orphan girl’ is extreme.
Over a missing brooch she is expelled. But she is searched for & brought back, enrolled in a school! All in just 2 episodes! Loved the pace & the powerful story.
What stands out is her will to live, to tide over with a smile & language which is her solace.
Interesting.
