Stop "reimagining" things. Just stop.

I'm pretty sure the original TV show was a re-imagining. It certainly wasn't much like the book. I didn't want to throw up a single time when I read the book.

Never saw the show, or read the book.
I will follow with mild curiosity to see how they shoehorn identity politics into it.
But there's a reason to watch.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I never made it through an episode of the show. They used to put it on in the UK in the 1970's, possibly as anti-American propoganda. I could be confusing it with The Waltons.
The book was really quite interesting, and it gave a pretty good idea of really how tough things were for the early settlers. I remember that she went into a great deal of detail about how to build a house. My SIL gave it to us as a gift, and I read it to my daughter.

Don't like the new imagination? Go watch an old release.
Seriously, no reimagination of classical tales would just make them go the way of classical music, where musicians just keep playing the same pieces largely the same way over and over again with fewer and fewer people listening.

They list about six people leading the production, all female. I can smell the woke from here.

There's a fair amount of irony if you compare the quite tough to read books to the excessively wholesome and sanitised "original" show.
Looking at X, I'm guessing not many people have read the book.
Hopefully the new show will feature the smelly Indians and the little brother dying and keep everybody happy.

I figure indians will play an important role in the story, in their most romanticized version.

As opposed to the earlier series which featured white settlers in their most romanticized version.
