ANNE WITH AN E
January 3, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
SEASON PREMIERE: Based on the Anne of Green Gables stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery, this strong adaptation premiered on Netflix in 2017, had its second season in 2018, and presents its third and final season today, two years later. That’s three years since it began, three years in the life of the character, and three years in the life of the actress playing her. Amybeth McNulty, playing the plucky, pig-tailed title character, is now 18 years old – so the shelf life of her precious precociousness is fast nearing its natural expiration point. Otherwise, with very mature actors playing much younger roles, future seasons would seem more like Beverly Hills, 90210 on the Prairie.
