Netflix has released a new version of Laura Ingalls Wilder's iconic "Little House on the Prairie" story, set to air on July 9. The teaser for the show, which is set to be released by the company, has raised concerns about the show's direction and overall vision, promising some fidelity to the novel but also potentially introducing completely new story lines. However, fans of both the books and the classic series have raised concerns over the Netflix trailer and details that have leaked out. Despite this, I'm willing to give it a chance. The new series is not a "by the book" rendition nor a reboot of the classic 1970s series, but a new adaptation of the series. Some fans believe the Oleson family is not part of the original series, and others question the show’s location and story line.
