For decades Laura Ingalls Wilder has brought the frontier alive for little girls who longed for wide open spaces. Little House on the Prairie is a delightful series, but one that also helps youngsters learn the hardships of being hungry or trudging forth in deep snow. Her prairie tales are vivid and visceral and were already made into a successful TV series in the 1970s. That was more than 50 years ago, though, and now we’re living in a time ripe with revivals, remakes and reboots. Netflix is giving the upcoming Little House On The Prairie series a go. Interestingly enough, it’s been at the center of a woke debate for quite some time now.
