A little disappointing. The first season was wonderful. It captured all the whimsy that I remember from the books. Amy Beth McNulty was a breath of fresh air. Geraldine James and R.H. Thomson were the iconic Marilla and Matthew. PEI (Prince Edward Island) never shone so bright. The second season seemed to stall. The story arch was foreign to the Green Gables canon and the desire to modernize the ethics of the times felt alien to its charm but I clung to the hope of the first season and was glad to see Netflix picked it up and that it was renewed for another season. But, the direction and performances in this first episode of the third season were really poor. It seemed to me the director was rushing the dialogue, not giving the actors an opportunity to inhabit their characters. The dialogue was artificial rather than natural. Yet, I hold on to the hope that good actors, beloved characters and the beauty of Prince Edward Island will win out. Better writing and directors, please. My rating for this series has fallen to a 6.5 (potential, yet) out of 10. [Classic Canadiana]

An interesting beginning to this new season, introducing the Miq'Maq and Anne's new quest: learning about her lineage.
The childish love stories seemed a bit weird, I mean everybody in the class seemed to have (and show) a love interest all of a sudden.
I was surprised by Bash's baby, I didn't expect that much time had passed between seasons.
Happy birthday, Anné!

It had nothing to do with the source material, yet it was very sweet, I loved the scenes with the Indians and Anne's birthday.
