Netflix\u2019s Little House on the Prairie is the latest adaptation of the book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The original classic TV series aired for nine seasons from 1974 to 1983 and there have also been films and a musical. It follows the Ingalls family, Charles, Caroline, and their daughters Mary and Laura, as they leave Wisconsin to settle on the American frontier.<\/p>\n
A perfectly pleasant Sunday afternoon distraction”<\/p>\n
Hayley and Ali do not think Little House on the Prairie is a Must Watch.<\/p>\n
Ali says, \u201cthis is not a Must Watch, but I did find myself enjoying it for what it is worth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have new, very charming, very good looking people who are taking over the roles of the Ingalls.\u201d<\/p>\n
He describes the show as \u201ca pleasant time with pleasant people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that it’s an adaptation of the books and they’re obviously taking more and drawing it out a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Overall Ali calls Little House on the Prairie a \u201cperfectly pleasant Sunday afternoon distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Hayley says, \u201cI have such a huge bias against anything Little House on the Prairie because it haunted my TV set when I was a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried, I really did. I tried for two episodes, but I cannot abide a little girl looking over a field where her new house is about to be built saying things like \u2018this will be our new forever\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
She calls it \u201ccosy nonsense\u201d adding, \u201cit’s completely not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Ali says, it seems serviceable in terms of a TV show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hayley does note \u201cit’s been brought slightly up to date as much as a show can be brought up to date, set in that time.\u201d<\/p>\n
All eight episodes are available to watch now on Netflix.<\/p>\n
