Finished the new Little House On The Prairie , on Netflix
Over all I thought it was pretty good
Having read all the books and pretty close to the same age as Melissa Gilbert , I grew up with little Miss Ingalls on TV
So like most fans of the original Little House On The Prairie , we waited to see modern Hollywood would retell a classic from the 1970s for a "modern" audience
An well , they didn't muck it up to bad ,
This new version is a little more somber then the original , less humor , the support cast were fine , but little generic , all likeable , but probably forgettable,
The girl playing Laura did a fine job as well , even if she does look like she was abopted........lol
The new Laura does lack Melissa Gilberts spunk
It is unfair to compare a tv show with 8 episodes to one with over 200
But still , the wife and I enjoyed it
From the opening credits we knew the show was going to have a different tone

I liked it for the most part , like I said , it's a little more somber then the original TV show , but also , maybe a little more realisticOh, was thinking this wasn't coming out for a few months. Will be watching it over the next few weeks. I see Netflix already greenlit a second season which is extremely rare for them. Usually they like to leave things in limbo and then shit can a show after one season. So that's promising at least.
I really enjoyed that show and the cast was good.
Remind me which show?The first 3 seasons were awesome but I am really disappointed in the 4th season so far.
The Last Ship
I started watching that show a couple years back on Hulu but I couldnt deal with the commercials and ended up leaving it. Now its on Netflix I should give it another goMy wife and I have been watching The Last Ship - it's better than I thought it would be. Got us hooked.
Thank you! Great show!! Posted some thing about it back in May and all I got was “struggling to get thru it” and “…just find the show annoying” (sorry dieter) Also agree with Psycho-X about Apple TV, I’m finding most of my current favorite shows have been on Apple.Widow's Bay is awesome so far! We're halfway through. Super creepy but also hilarious
Good news, Hardy will be back. They worked out their differences, thank god!Mobland on Paramount+ is a lot of fun. Season 2 coming soon, but heard Tom Hardy won't be back for S03. Not watching that show without him unfortunately.
That's funny I watched the first episode with my wife when it premiered and it didn't really grab either of us either. Like you said the humor was kind of meh and couldn't get into the characters. Since then we watched the entire Ted Lasso series which I had never seen before. Side note, absolutely loved it and get why it was so popular now and looking forward to S4. But I digress, went back and started watching Rooster again one day when I was bacheloring it and could not believe the daughters husband was Jamie Tartt Tartt Tartt Ta Tartt Ta Tartt! (Ted Lasso joke) So, gave it another go just because of wanting to watch him in a different role. I still have a couple episodes to go but I'm enjoying it a lot. Not sure I'll get the wife to pick it back up though.My wife turned on Rooster this morning, with Steve Carrell.
It had a few failed cheap, cliché laughs early on, but recovered nicely.
We ended up watching the entire season and really enjoyed it.
Carrell does both comedy and drama very well IMO.
I find him genuinely likable.
