More than four decades after the initial series ended its nine-season run on NBC, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved semi-autobiographical novels have been adapted to television once again. Created by Rebecca Sonnenshine and executive produced by Trip Friendly, son of original series producer Ed Friendly, Netflix’s “Little House on the Prairie” is part family drama, part adventure tale. The story follows the Ingalls family in the shadow of the American Civil War, determined to make a new life and place for themselves in a country still figuring out what it wants to be. Though the show is slightly slow at the start, the childlike whimsy and robust themes are as resounding today as they were 150 years ago.
