Most of the flashbacks were to show Anne’s apprehension based on past experience – why she did not want to be sent back the orphanage to face the bullies or gamble on the possibility that her next placement would be more like the Blewetts or the Hammonds. Anne slowly becomes more secure as she starts to realise that her placement is permanent and as she slowly wins people over in the school and in the community. Everyone liking her like magic right away is just not realistic, but something the naysayers seem to expect. I think that kids these days have moved away from expecting an instant happy ever after to wanting to know more about how one gets there.

You know ahead of time that the Cuthberts don’t lose the farm – just like you know ahead of time on Gotham who doesn’t die/stay dead. I presume that even the “new arrivals” have a backstory – they seem like they’ve known each other a long time and have probably been doing this since they were kids. It is even possible that their relationship is the sort that Oswald Cobblepot would approve of – considering it is Canadian TV.

There have been trial balloons put out shipping Jerry and Diana – which explains why Jerry was smoothing his hair when Diana and Ruby were returning the books and whether Jerry should be allowed by the writer to return to school. This would be a huge sell – not just because of the demographic differences between the two but because, in the books, Diana ends up with the (not in the CBC/Netflick series) Fred Wright.

One of the light hearted moments was when Anne (the Shepherdess) threatened to kill Jerry (the cat) if he would not stop singing (drinking the milk-song translation) – and he sings louder. The period talk was also very funny.

The series has been yet to introduce a disabled characters and, considered the tone, expect to be introduced to a one legged man up a ladder fixing the roof.
