Road to Avonlea is currently streaming on Crave Amazon Channel, and it uses the format for more than just a visual hook. 7 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. With 40 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Sarah Polley brings more to the role than the format usually demands. Start it on Crave Amazon Channel whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Road to Avonlea keeps coming up in conversation. Road to Avonlea has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. In the fictional small town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, in the early 20th century, 10-year-old Montreal heiress Sara Stanley is sent by her wealthy father to live with her two maiden aunts, Hetty and Olivia King, to be near her late mother's side of the family. Every line from Sarah Polley and Jackie Burroughs lands with more craft than you'd expect. The series ran for 7 seasons (1990–1996), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What makes Road to Avonlea more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Road to Avonlea works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. Fans of Tyler Perry's The Oval will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 7 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Sarah Polley's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.

Road to Avonlea wrapped up in 1996, created by Fiona McHugh — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
