Netflix's reboot of "Little House on the Prairie" has been reviewed as a feel-good binge, earning three out of four stars. The eight-episode first season, which premiered on July 9, follows 7-year-old Laura Ingalls and her family as they journey west to Kansas and build a new life. The show balances the hardships of frontier life with the perspective of a hopeful child, and notably devotes significant time to the Native families who originally inhabited the land. The reboot is described as a warm reimagining that honors the spirit of the original books and doesn't require familiarity with previous adaptations. Critics from Time praised its "painterly exterior shots" and the energy of its cast, while The Guardian called it a "precision-tooled and well-oiled machine" with a cozy, faith-and-family vibe. The show has already been renewed for a second season.
