Gilbert’s somewhat bizarre arc might have flopped if Lucas Jade Zumann couldn’t tackle the role, and the group of girls around Anne was very well cast.
Throw in the scene-stealing Aymeric Jett Montaz as Jerry and Deborah Grover as Aunt Josephine, and what’s not to love?
Amybeth McNulty is wonderful as Anne, and her dynamic with Geraldine James and R.H. Thompson as Marilla and Matthew is always a joy.
I’m still not quite over poor Anne’s reaction when her special hideout in the woods was destroyed by Billy.
