Will Diana Barry’s Awful Parents Finally Get a Grip?: Review of Episode 4 of “Anne with an E”

September 18, 2018 By Lorilee - 9 Comments

Oy. I could get behind last season of Anne with an E, even with its off-book shenanigans, but this season is more challenging. I know many of you find it challenging, too. "I mean, you're watching and the actors are so incredible and it's Anne, and Gilbert, and Matthew and Marilla and … [Read more...]

Review of “Anne,” Episode 5: There Shall Be “Raspberry Cordial”!

April 17, 2017 By Lorilee - 19 Comments

While last week's episode was my least favorite so far, this one is by far my most favorite. I was pining for "iconic" moments, and iconic moments I received!  I mean, if this were an ice cream cone, it would be Triple Scoop Iconic flavour (Canadian spelling). 1.
