“Wait, I thought I was your dream guy,’ Peter says. Not to me, to Kitty. He knows he’s not my dream guy. My dream guy is Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. Handsome, loyal, smart in school.” - Always and Forever, Lara Jean 

Here is some encouragement:

Let's take this with a grain of salt but it's looking good for us!

When a man starts explaining a concept you already told him you understand, instead of saying “I know” over and over until you die, try one of these:

Ok, which aspect is confusing you?

It seems like you have the basics down; Would you like me to recommend some good articles so you can get a more nuanced understanding?

If you need to bring up a topic you think he’ll argue against, ask him if he knows what it is, nod along as he tells you, and then build on the argument he’s just made for you by laying the base. 

aka, I had a mansplaining coworker who used to trigger the shit out of my PTSD, so one day I asked him if he knew what “trigger” meant as a psychological term. He proceeded to explain my own panic attacks to me and ended up having a facial Oh Shit when I responded with “Yes, that’s exactly what happens to me when you do X, I’m glad you understand.”

It has:

- Amazing Cinematography

- Timeless script writing, created by an all female writing team

- A gorgeous soundtrack

- Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, and real, representation of minority groups. https://medium.com/@nerdypoc/anne-with-an-e-draws-on-history-to-create-an-inclusive-period-drama-107b5393fd18

- And it’s just very informative, especially for a show based in the 1890’s, it targets modern issues better than any show I’ve ever seen.

- While it’s different from the “Anne of Green Gables” books, it does a wonderful job of remembering where it all started and holding onto the heart of the story.

- (plus the fans of the show love relating your songs to the story. Especially between the blossoming relationship of the characters Anne and Gilbert.)

- I sincerely recommend it.

PLEASE, HELP US SAVE IT. The vision for the show is 5 seasons, but Netflix and CBC decided to cancel it after season 3. Anne got the boy (and it’s beautiful) but her journey on which she achieves all her dreams (academic, career..) only begins and her story deserves to be told. Not to mention other amazing characters whose stories are nowhere near the end. 

Stream Anne With An E on Netflix, and make sure to stream season 3 that will be available on January 3! Spread this message and  fall in love with this outstanding show.
