It's not bad, but it is very slow. I think I'm on episode 5 and ive been hoping it picks up, but it hasn't so far.
Just randomly started watching and I finished it over the weekend and while it is slow, I thought it was a good watch and will watch a season 2

I remember watching a lot of the original show growing up. Is there a Nellie Olson character in the new one? I had a cousin who was very much like Nellie. Some of the other cousins and myseld even called her Nellie Olson from time to time. She grew out of her bitchiness, though.

Well, I may have to eat some crow. The real life Laura Ingalls younger sister was delivered by Dr. Tann who was a black doctor. Pretty rare in the 1870’s.
I was kinda doubtful about that, but good to know. Another psyop defeated.
I’m starting to wonder if there were Osage families living in Brady Bunch homes as well? Also where do y’all think Charles is hiding his cordless blow dryer?

Yeah in the books he delivers Carrie but also treats the family for malaria while they’re in Kansas as well.

Today he'd be better described as a midwife or "healer". He never went to any formal medical school.

Sure. But that was more common those days than someone actually going to an official medical school. He was still referred as a doctor among the community there (and held in well regard).

Dr. Tann became known as a doctor of “eclectic” medicine. A popular and widely-practiced medicine of the day, eclectic medicine combined botanical remedies with physical therapy to achieve health and wellness. There are no documents that show George Tann’s enrollment in medical school. Most blacks learned by apprenticeship or were self-taught. Dr. Tann learned his profession well, becoming particularly skilled in setting bones. Taking advantage of the Homestead Act and free Kansas land, he and his father relocated and purchased property neighboring Charles P. Ingalls.

I'm not saying he did anything untoward or claimed a title that white healers didn't, I'm just saying that much of the skepticism around a black doctor from that time revolves around the fact that it would have been very, very difficult for him to go to medical school. That's why I said today he'd be described in different terms.

That's fair.
Well and lets be honest, Doctors in that day and age usually just practiced under the other guy who was the town doctor instead of having a formal education in most cases. Particularly out West. They were all a lot of closer to medicine men and healers than what we know today as doctors (obviously).

The river crossing in the first 2 minutes looked like a PS2 cutscene, it was that bad
