Read the original books and watch the original show. Let this kind of stuff flop big time and then maybe they’ll learn.
“And Pa will be a hapless idiot”
I think he was kind of a loser — not a bad person at all — but seemed to make bad decisions that weren’t positive for his family. He was born in the same little town where my dad is from, and the stories linger in the area. When we visit family, the B&B where we stay has the “Pa Ingalls Room”.
“ “American Primeval” was excellent!”

Good to know. Thanks. Haven’t had time to check it out.
“I tire of tuning into a show, only to promptly disengage when a woke scene - totally unnecessary to the story”
We were watching 9-1-1 Lone Star until the son was pictured swapping tonsil-tongue swabs with his male love interest. We didn’t see the end of that episode nor any of the episodes after it.
I just recently read through almost the entire output of Wilders. Wow...what was the most illuminating was how matter of fact she wrote about problems that would kill most people today. Violence, disease, weather, injury. It was just expected and nobody let it really affect them from moving on.
The show depicts the attack as a joint effort of “Nauvoo Legion” Mormon militia wearing hoods and Paiute Indians, who were most definitely not portrayed as “noble savages” —only savages. The Mormons, to include Brigham Young, are portrayed as a violent cult.
I was very surprised to see this from Netflix.
Also, the cinematography is excellent.
Only six hour long episodes, it’s a great binge for a cold weekend.
I give it my strongest recommendation and kudos to Netflix. Hope to see more shows like it!
LOL!
And here I got all excited when I saw this title, thinking it was the American version of the British TV series, "Primeval", about dinosaurs coming into the present through temporal anomalies.
Bummer!
The big streamer doesn't want the reboot of the western family show to be anything like the original.
They wants lots of sex and violence.
Likewise with Last of Us.
Never saw any more episodes. Don’t care.
Frankly, there should be a rating warning viewers, if for no other reason than to protect children (plus stop wasting our own time).
I have an original copy of that book. My grandmother gave it to me many years ago.
