Thomson), in the fictional town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island.Over the course of three seasons and 27 episodes, the late-19th-century coming-of-age drama follows Anne as she makes a home for herself on the siblings' ancestral farm of Green Gables, dealing with schoolyard bullying, class differences, burgeoning friendships, childhood trauma and small-town life along the way.Stream "Anne with an E" on Netflix now'1883'If you want a less whimsical and more weathered take on the frontier genre, this "Yellowstone" prequel recounts the gritty origin story of the famed Dutton family, following James and Margaret Dutton (played by country icons and real-life couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) as they flee poverty in Texas and journey west through the Great Plains to seek a better future for their family in Montana.
