23. Little House Summer Series: Thoughts on the Netflix Reboot

from The High Functioning Hot Mess Podcast · host Elizabeth Bronk McLaughlin

In this episode of our Little House Summer Series, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on the upcoming Netflix reboot of Little House on the Prairie — including why I’m excited, why I’m skeptical, and why I think so many of us are craving slower, quieter, more grounding stories right now.We talk about:How I unexpectedly fell back in love with the Little House books and TV show as an adultThe surprising emotional depth of the original seriesWhy modern television feels so overstimulating latelyThe rise of remakes, reboots, and nostalgia cultureWhether social media is impacting creativity and storytellingWhy the “quietness” of Little House feels so healingMy hopes (and concerns) for the Netflix adaptation premiering July 9This episode is part nostalgia, part cultural commentary, and part “please let television be wholesome again.”I think a lot of us are craving exactly that.We’ll be taking a little pause next week for Memorial Day, but the series officially continues June 1st as we begin diving into Little House in the Big Woods.This is what we’ve all been preparing for.If you’re loving the series so far, make sure to follow the podcast, leave a review, and send this episode to your fellow nostalgic girls who secretly wish they lived on a homestead sometimes.See you next Monday. 🤍If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend or tag me on Instagram so I can see you’re listening!And if you’re loving this series, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss what’s coming next.Connect with Elizabeth: 💻 https://www.elizabethalicellc.com/ 📸 @elizabethalicerd on Instagram 💌 Subscribe to Vitality Vignette for cozy wellness musings💌 Let’s Stay ConnectedNow on TikTok!
