How many of you have tuned into Netflix to watch the first season of their Little House on the Prairie adaptation? Want to share any thoughts? I am four episodes into the new show. In case any of you haven't watched it yet, I won't share many spoilers.
Aspects I like:
- Great acting
- We see more of the town of Independence, Kansas
- Dr. Tann is a recurring character
- How they reimagined the crossing of the river and losing Jack and then him returning scenes
- That there is more dedicated focus on the realities of living out West than the original show depicted
Struggling with:
- How self-centered and mean Mary can be
- Some of the dream sequences
- Making it seem like there was a different motivation for Charles and Caroline to leave the Big Woods
- Getting used to the new Charles
- How naive Caroline is about certain people
With four more episodes to go in the first season, I look forward to discussing this new adaptation with you.
My husband has fond memories of watching the original Little House. I don't recall watching it at all. We've added the new one to our list but I don't know when we'll get around to watching it. I'm a slow watcher!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch a lot of shows either, Jen. This one, I will at least watch the first season. See how it all pans out. There will be a neat surprise for lovers of the original show in the new one.
