While this show does feature some cringey of-the-moment dialogue that will likely end up coming across as dated in the future (one of the first lines in the trailer is, after all, “this will be our new forever”), I am starting to suspect that this show might actually end up matching my current personal tastes a bit more than the original series. IIRC, the original series begins after their home was built. However, this trailer shows sequences that start quite a bit earlier in the series than that, though not as early as I remember the books beginning (I remember as a kid reading scenes in the books where the Ingalls were living out of “dugouts” for a bit, which were essentially ditches in the dirt, until their built their first home). Including the Native Americans might be a nice touch as well depending on how that’s handled; I don’t really remember the original show including those either.
