What is Little Women about?
Four sisters come of age in America in the aftermath of the Civil War.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
Four earnest sisters navigate love and loss while coming of age in Civil War-era America.
Intimate and nostalgic. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Hulu.
