Netflix’s Upcoming 8-Part Western Already Looks Like the Best Reboot of the 21st Century

Many people fondly remember the NBC show that aired from 1974 to 1983, which made Michael Landon a beloved star. The series was a huge success on network television and continued to be popular in reruns for years after it stopped filming. As a child, I always felt Michael Landon could do no wrong. He was good-looking, wholesome, and a sincere actor, writer, and director. Attempts to revive the show seem misguided to me, especially considering another similar project faced difficulties. What viewers of the original Little House series might not know is that the TV show differs significantly from the books it was based on. This difference is precisely why the new Netflix version has the potential to become as iconic as Landon’s classic.
