Summary
Little House on the Prairie is on Netflix. Now, as the US celebrates – or at least, given the current difficulties under which it labours, marks – its 250th birthday, the TV series has been rebooted. But so great is the power of both the cultural cringe and osmosis that even the most militant Britisher of a certain age has absorbed to some degree the story of the pioneering Ingalls family and its on-screen aesthetic.
Furthermore, Little House is a bit too neat: the town’s most upright woman excludes Black people and hoards medicine, while those viewed as lower class and unrespectable turn out to be much kinder. Each episode has a lesson to be learned in an old-fashioned way. Instead, they become bystanders to a historic atrocity.
In addition, Throughout watching, I couldn’t help but feel: You can’t have your cake and eat it. In tandem to the Ingalls’ story, this series follows the Mitchells, an Osage family on whose land the Ingalls have built, and whose daughter Good Eagle (Wren Zhawenim Gotts) Laura has befriended. The “wokism” that has unsettled some conservatives this time around is, of course, related to the new series’ updated foregrounding of Native Americans.
