ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E02 Review

"Must obliged"

I really must say, Anne with an E captivates audience, especially me - words not common to my ears lures me to watch more, plus the dramatic plot it conveys to the people.

Also, I must admit that since I've wrongfully watched the first two episodes of the second season, I already have known that the Cuthberts are keeping as their own. What surprised me is that when Matthew said, "She is my daughter." The reaction on Anne's face was so powerful - from being an orphaned who belonged to no one to being a member of the Cuthberts which they allowed her write her own name on the family book. Well, again, I know they'll keep them, but still it was emotional.

In 37-68 A.D., this was the time of extravagance and excessive indulgence, a luxury-loving Emperor of Ancient Rome named Nero was so delighted by the beauty of these sparkling brightness that he spent 6,000 sesterces for only two small cups.
