23 July 2020
I don't even know where to start - from the casting to the screenwriting to the costume design to details as small as aunt march's pet parrot, this is undoubtedly the most lively and wonderful adaption of little women i've ever had the privilege to enjoy. all the negative critiques of this miniseries seem to have a very strict, narrow-minded view of what a proper adaption of this classic story should look like. they compare the quality of this stellar! beautiful! magnificent! piece of work to other adaptions that simply lack the quality of visual aesthetics, acting, and warmth this series offers. not only is it by FAR the most visually pleasing of the adaptions (that cinematography? i'm DROOLING), but each and every scene is so saturated in emotional depth that i'm constantly left in a state of sublime sweetness after each episode. i mean - the scene where meg realizes her love for john brooke was so obviously designed with such care and executed with such warmth and life that you can't resist getting swept up in its raw and honest sweetness. these three hour long episodes are absolutely lovely and deserve all the praise i can give. please don't be fooled by these cold reviews that try to fit such a massively vibrant adaption into their narrow-minded perspective of what a screen adaption of little women 'should' look like - let yourself be immersed in this exceedingly lively and heartwarming series. i swear you won't regret it.
