The Best Netflix Originals That Critics Were Totally Wrong About
Brain On Fire is the true story of Susannah Cahalan, played by Chloe Grace Moretz, who contracted a rare form of encephalitis, Critics derided the film for it’s cliched formula and deus ex machina ending - where a hero doctor came in out of nowhere and saved her. The only problem with the critique is that’s exactly how it happened. Being critical of a true story that remains factual is an odd complaint.
Anne With An E is another retelling of Anne Of Green Gables. If you’re familiar with the story - and you should be - Anne had a tough childhood and in the book the story picks up with her arrival at a farm on Prince Edward Island. Anne With An E provides a backstory to some of her younger adventures as she bounces from orphanage to orphanage and family to family, as well as giving more depth to her adoptive “parents” - a brother and sister. Critics didn’t think the backstory mattered, but fans have adored the extra layers - with a Season 3 already confirmed.
