TV-PGSynopsis
Little Women (2017), Season 1 is the BBC's three-part costume drama you can watch online on iFILM — Louisa May Alcott's novel told across one tight miniseries.
It opens at Christmas 1861, the Civil War underway. The March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy — meet the holiday with no presents and no father, gone to serve as a Union chaplain. When Marmee is called away to his hospital bedside, the girls are left to run the house, and themselves, for the first time. Three episodes carry them from childish quarrels and first crushes toward harder, grown-up losses.
Maya Hawke plays Jo, with Emily Watson, Michael Gambon and Angela Lansbury filling out the cast. It's a quiet, unhurried adaptation — one for viewers who like their British classics patient rather than flashy. Stream Little Women Season 1 online on iFILM.
