| | Customer Reviews: EXTREME EMILY!!! HOOOOO-AHH!!! (21 June 2010)We watched how Anne3=Anne In An Alternate Universe, be prepared now for Emily In An Alternate Universe. I LOVE John Neville, of course, so it's fun to see him playing a Scotsman. Usually when I reach for L.M. Montgomery I'm looking for a little peace, quiet and wit. This is a bit more like a gothic romance of sinister proportions. Basic daily life doesn't quite occur. There are nightmarish elements and intense drama. Villains of pure evil seem to live in the town of Blair Water that are driven by motives so chaotic one might not come to the conclusion that Prince Edward Island is exactly a restful holiday retreat. The first season veered from the path of the books. This second season seems to take a far detour through the depths of Tartarus. There are fairly frequent scenes of violence, mostly young girls punching the daylights out of each other. Our protagonists are pulled through some of the most cringe-worthy, humiliating displays before townsfolk who are so miserable it's a wonder one could type it to a screenplay. It is astounding when an author already wrote so much lovely dialogue and stories, let's make a series and... not really use them. Hmm... Well, country, Victorian fashion, lots of serial drama? Might be what you like. Good story, great value (10 June 2010)This is a great series I really enjoy. I thought it would be great for granparent nights. I loved the Ann of Green Gables tales and this is as good and endearing Good show, but not like the books (19 April 2010)I purchased season one and two and watched all the episodes. Then I read the books. Other then the names of the characters, the books are not followed as they were with Anne of Green Gables. I believe Miss Montgomery would have been proud of Anne but disapointed with Emily. Only because the books aren't followed. The actors who play the characters are fabulous. Stephen McHattie is a joy to watch. The girls who play Emily and Ilsa are wonderful actresses and a joy to see on screen. The mystical parts, talking to the dead etc, are silly and really aren't necessary, but we are stuck with them. The dvds are poorly made with missing episodes, poor quality, etc. I have quit purchasing the dvds and now watch Emily of New Moon on [...] for free. All of the episodes are available. Unfortunaley, the show ends after season 4 and there is no closing to the plots and we don't know what happens to the characters. I read the books, so I know. Aunt Elizabeth doesn't die, nor does Laura marry. Mr Bowles, his mother or his girlfriend aren't real either. Nor is Jack the farm hand. Jimmy doesnt' get cluncked on the head and become normal. Eve doesnt' exist, nor does Ilsa's new stepmother. I am enjoying the tv show even though it is so different from the books. I only wish they would shoot a new tv movie or short mini-series closing out the show. Eventually Ilsa falls in love with Perry and Emily with Teddy Kent, when they are adults and through with college. For the price, it is a good investment. I will probably break down and purchase seasons 3 and 4 so I will have them all. Emily of New Moon season 1 and 2 (03 March 2010)My husband and I watched 2 episodes a night and enjoyed them immensely. At time the sound was not quite up to par, but what my husband did't hear, I did. My Husbands Dad was from PEI, so it made it more enjoyable for us. We have been there many times.We love the characters and are looking forward to season 3 and 4. Does anyone know when they will be out on DVD? Not as good (20 February 2010)I ordered this second series because I like the first one. This series is not near as good in content as the first season. But still I enjoy watching the adventure. They are all well actors. |
