Little Women updated–again! On December 25 a new series debuted on the Pemberly Digital Channel on YouTube called The March Family Letters featuring short video letters by a modern version of the March Sisters. Like the Lifetime movie “The March Sisters At Christmas” (see previous post), this series takes Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy into the twenty-first century. I enjoyed this first installment and the interpretation of each sister:
“The first episode introduces viewers to the updated (and aged-up) versions of the March sisters, who wish their absent mother a Merry Christmas. Meg is a stiff perfectionist, Jo a driven and enthusiastic idealist, Beth is thoughtful-bordering-on-sullen, and Amy is hyper and competitive. Tensions clearly exist between the four sisters, though their bond is evidently strong enough to keep them united for now.” (from Hypable)
Here is the first episode:
Great chemistry, good humor, interesting premise. That’s my take.
What do you think?
I have signed up for the website newsletter and hope to post new episodes as they come out.

SQUEAL! I loved their Lizzy Bennet Diaries! I was skeptical so came late to the craze. I’m looking forward to seeing how they develop Little Women. It’s very interesting they chose MARMEE as the one who is deployed. I wonder what Louisa would make of this new crazy format for updating her story?
Hard to say. But I say, anything that attracts new readers is good for me!
