Of course the only snippet I saw was brilliant black physician ( lol on the western frontier in the 1800's ) saving the dumb white man with his benevolence and brilliance.

Was not planning on watching. Now even more resolute that I will not be watching.

There was a black "doctor" that helped the family (Dr Tam or Tann or something). We wouldn't call him a doctor today because he had no formal training, he was more like the local midwife who also used herbs & whatever if you were sick.

So skipping the early parts in Minnesota, I guess?

I’ve been watching the original TV show with my family. There is a lot of community involvement in that one and I don’t consider it an attack on individualism.
It does have a lot of Christian morals and references in it, so I’m curious how that is treated in the new series.

Change the name to "Little House with the Fairy" and Michael Landon's character can be a fig.

political agenda
Not that we didn't already know, but when Netflix propped up two no-talent bums named Barack and Michelle Obama, who have no creative talent whatsoever, and gave them pervasive influence over content it was 100% clear what Netflix was and is all about.
Hell, Michelle Obama even told Larry David that he couldn't reunite with Cheryl Hines on his upcoming HBO show because she's married to RFK, Jr. and isn't "one of us." How insane is that?
Netflix has never received even a penny from me, and they never will. Thank God Netflix lost out on their bid to take over other entertainment and news outlets, like CBS and others, to a much less radical company earlier this year.

Little Ho's On The Prairie.
Did they update the cast?

I loved the series when I was little. I watched some of the beginning of the Netlix series and when I first started watching, was impressed with the production quality and was excited to settle into the story.
Very quickly I started to get a sense of where they were taking it. It got very diverse and very quickly, which, okay... fine.. Laura Ingalls' life would have not been so diverse but I can tolerate the nod to modernity. It was how they were cast in the story. Laura "steals" an indian girl's doll but the indian is noble and forgiving (IIRC she called them SAVAGES in her books). The black shop owner who selflessly offers to extend credit to the Ingalls family because the Ingalls can't afford basics like coffee. The only educated person is the black doctor. The indian woman having a library full of books that Carol covets. It was definitely making the point that the western frontier was only settled because of blacks and indigenous
Yes, the 1970's show also took creative license, but largely to make it family friendly for broadcast and they added fictional characters to keep the story moving, but generally kept sanctimony out of it.
It all came across as a land acknowledgement

It's been a loooong time since I read the book, but that was a brutal existence so they had to do something to tone it down. I want nothing to do with a climate where you & your horses might freeze to death going a few miles to the next town.

Yep, adopting Albert was so woke.
It will be when Albert is cast as a black trans girl in a motorized wheelchair (which of course they will have to hand-crank because, you know, its the 1800s)

I finished the series a few days ago and thought it was pretty good. I get turned off pretty quick to liberal ideology in shows, but I thought this show was well done. Not sure how many people knew they lived outside Independence Kansas before moving to Walnut Grove. The series follows their move and stay in Independence and ends when they are starting their journey to Walnut Grove.

What happened to just watching a show without analyzing everything about it? If you don't like don't watch it.

Progressives. Where do you think demographic check boxes came from? Where do you think "not punching down" came from?

Netflix is an abomination of a streaming service. Always has been and always will be
