I really appreciate the detail of Beth getting more confident for the camera as the song went on (but not too much so!). It really captures how, in the book, she forgot herself and her shyness in her music.
This just captures the dynamic of Jo and Beth so well. Beth brings out the tender side in Jo and Jo makes Beth feel safe and like she can peek out at the world. About to bawl over here.
I think the actress did a spot-on job so far as Beth. She sounds beautiful, and shy and nervious, and that is how Beth can be. I think this is wonderful so far!
My favourite episode so far, mostly because there's not so much awkward dialogue. Jo is being quiet and a sweet supporting sister and the song is actually really nice too
Beth is as sweet as I expected her to be. That was such a nice song too. I hope to see more of Beth. Jo's support was totally on point! What a great episode!
So far I'm liking Beth and Amy the best. I like how their characters are being portrayed. I feel like Jo and Meg are a little "in your face" which is hard for me to handle at times. But it was refreshing seeing Beth in this episode. She's sweet and softspoken. I'm biased about her being a pianist, but after actually seeing her perform with the guitar I can see how that works with this adaptation. Still holding on to watching the series, hoping it'll improve in other ways, since this is one of my absolute favorite classics.
This might be my favorite sister, loved her song... I think if you've ever had a family member deployed overseas you can relate to this even more. This would certainly make their mother teary eyed I believe!
1) oh my GOODNESS, beth's voice is amazing. wow. 2) i'm so in love with the way jo always makes her sisters feel comfortable, especially beth 3) loved it when beth was gaining confidence throughout and would look at the camera more 4) jo in beanies. that is all.
This episode broke my heart because Beth is officially the only part of this series so far that I am really enjoying. I'm sticking around because this is a beloved story and I have faith that it will continue to get better.
I am so so glad to have finally seen Beth properly! In a way I wish more of her shyness could have come across - perhaps her singing getting stronger in the same way her looks to the camera became more frequent and longer, but what a performance. For some reason when Jo was saying about a song I was thinking it would be something ... more traditional so was kinda surprised but what a great surprise - it has dragged this portrayal of Beth into this era really well. I also really liked the interaction between the sisters, you can see they are close in a way that Jo isn't with Amy and Meg.
Yay, finally, an episode with BETH!!!! She's my favorite character, and so far she's the only one who's pretty much the way I pictured her. I think I finally get why she plays guitar--if they're a military family and move a lot, a guitar is much more transportable than a piano. Great voice!
this was the best episode... Beth's voice was beautiful. She is my favourite sister both in the books and in this. I do hope we see a lot more of her singing. Please keep singing Beth, we love your voice! :)
How about we just have the show filmed in an artsy montage with Beth narrating in song over the whole thing? That would be awesome! Favorite episode so far, BY FAR. :D
Beth, you didn't have anything to worry about. That song and your voice were both amazing! And can I just say Beth may actually be the prettiest among them :)
The acting is still a little eh but the beginning was sort of adorable :) and she has a good voice except for a few high notes, I liked how she started looking at the camera more and more as the song went on. It was a nice touch.
Some episodes are better than others, but I see this improving. I never thought in a modern adaptation Jo would dress like 90s grunge, even her makeup with that hideous dark lipstick a few episodes back. I get the adding music since Beth is musical. She has a nice voice. Hopefully the songs won't be cheesy-sometimes-off-key like in the Emma series. I love singer songwriter stuff but those were painful.
Best episode so far... I rather like Beth. She seemed the most like a modern version of the character. I kinda expected her to be even more soft-spoken but I guess with recording there's a line for as soft as you can go. As much as I prefer the piano, an acoustic guitar is a well-chosen change.
Beth has a great voice, and the song is beautiful... Just... the delivery for maybe half the dialogue seems somewhat awkward. Perhaps it's the body language that's off? They all seem like they're used to stage. However, I'm enjoying it, even if it doesn't feel as authentic as LBD or EA. There's still that distance and sense of disbelief that I just can't shake. They don't feel like real people
I really want this show to succeed, because modern-day adaptations of classics is an awesome thing, but it's been nine episodes now and I still feel like the actresses haven't quite memorized their lines yet. There's always at least one delivery per episode that seems stilted and unnatural. They don't seem like sisters - they seem like actresses who are pretending to be sisters. I'm sorry that I don't have anything more positive to say.
I actually disagree. They do seem like sisters to me and Jo seems to be the most authentic of the bunch. I can imagine someone like her trying to unite her family in a weirdly unusual way. I do agree that some of the lines are stilted, especially in relation to Beth-- hers have been the most unnatural even though I find the actress's characterization spot on. Perhaps it's due in part to her not having been shown as much as the others up to this point, so they haven't been able to get the right "feel". So far though, the ones that have appeared consistently (Amy, Jo, Meg in particular) all feel relatively natural to me.

So I like this so far but goodness, Beth might be the main reason I fall in love with this adaptation. She did a great job!
Finally Beth on screen!!! Such a great voice :)
Oh I just loved Beth even more, girl can play guitar and sing decently omg
Beth is such a sweetheart, I love her already! She had no reason to be nervous, her singing was great
I WANT MORE BETH!! YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR MUSIC IS TOO!!
Beth is adorable and her singing is amazing and I just love her, so much.
she has such a such a beautiful voice
Anyone else wowed by how good Beth's voice is?
Beth I love you.
Aww Beth is so good
I think the actress did a spot-on job so far as Beth. She sounds beautiful, and shy and nervious, and that is how Beth can be. I think this is wonderful so far!
Yay Beth!
If I was their Marmee I'd be so proud :')
Absolute heart eyes for Beth
My favourite episode so far, mostly because there's not so much awkward dialogue. Jo is being quiet and a sweet supporting sister and the song is actually really nice too
Beth is as sweet as I expected her to be. That was such a nice song too. I hope to see more of Beth. Jo's support was totally on point! What a great episode!
Beth has a pretty voice. It would be great if she did songs regularly on their channel.
LOVE BETH! I agree with everyone- best episode thus far. What a beautiful voice!
I didn't expect to tear up.....
So far I'm liking Beth and Amy the best. I like how their characters are being portrayed. I feel like Jo and Meg are a little "in your face" which is hard for me to handle at times.

That was such a great song! Love Beth ❤️ I also love how wacky and supportive Jo is :)
That song put tears in my eyes. It's exactly the kind of song that a teenager would sing to a mother that was serving overseas. Bravo.
That was beautiful!
Beautiful song and beautiful voice!
This might be my favorite sister, loved her song... I think if you've ever had a family member deployed overseas you can relate to this even more. This would certainly make their mother teary eyed I believe!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Always LOVE Kristyn's music! So happy with these little women. The song fits perfectly.
1) oh my GOODNESS, beth's voice is amazing. wow.
2) i'm so in love with the way jo always makes her sisters feel comfortable, especially beth
3) loved it when beth was gaining confidence throughout and would look at the camera more
4) jo in beanies. that is all.

This was great!!! Beth has such a great voice :)
Don't be afraid of us Beth! You are so talented and we are all here to support you and love you to the very end and beyond. Best video so far
This was definitely my favorite episode yet. Beth seems like the most authentic character and her voice is gorgeous!
Best episode so far!!!!
I just know Beth is gonna be my favorite... I always loved her.
She has such a lovely voice!
Yay, finally, an episode with BETH!!!! She's my favorite character, and so far she's the only one who's pretty much the way I pictured her. I think I finally get why she plays guitar--if they're a military family and move a lot, a guitar is much more transportable than a piano. Great voice!
Aww. I got a little teary eyed listening :)
You aren't the only one.
Really really liked this episode! Beth is adorable, and so sister/groupie Jo
this was the best episode... Beth's voice was beautiful. She is my favourite sister both in the books and in this. I do hope we see a lot more of her singing. Please keep singing Beth, we love your voice! :)
Oh, Beth, I like you and your songs! If there's more Beth, I may just keep on watching this.
Jo and Beth's relationship has always been my favorite, and this was really sweet.
Beth is the saving grace of this adaptation.
We all love you Beth!
Seriously, best episode so far.
I love Beth's voice !!!
Awwwww so sweet!!! Beth you have an awsome voice!
She sounds so nervous! She shouldn't be though, because she's really talented.
Favorite episode thus far. Beth's voice is lovely and that song is great. :]
Wow! That was great, Beth. You shine bright!!
i love the way she sings
No Beth don't be shy ilysm :3
Great voice, though
Love this episode! And I love the sound of Jo's voice. It has this rich, caramelly quality. Could listen to her speak all day.
Beautifully done, Beth! I hope we'll hear you play more!
LOVE. Beth sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
I liked the singing :)
This song is so nice!
Awesome singing and song Beth! =D I can't wait to hear more! I hope you'll let us hear more. =)
Wow! She is amazing!
How about we just have the show filmed in an artsy montage with Beth narrating in song over the whole thing? That would be awesome! Favorite episode so far, BY FAR. :D
Nice Voice!!! Love Beth!
That was beautiful. Wow. Beth, you're amazing,
Beautiful voice Beth! So proud of you for stepping out and showing your stuff. Can't wait to see more! ~Kales
Oh my goodness this is gorgeous! I am so excited for this series!
Beautiful Beth (and music/song)
I wish Marmee would comment. Beautiful song to her! :D
Beth your voice is amazing! Keep at it, you're fantastic :)
Beth is my favorite out of the 4 sisters in this adaption :)
Finally Beth!
she's so awesome :)
not gonna lie, this series is starting to grow on me
Girl all you need is little lessons to polish your voice and you will be set for life. What a true talent she has.
Aww!!! So sweet! Love it!
That was beautiful
Beth, you didn't have anything to worry about. That song and your voice were both amazing!
And can I just say Beth may actually be the prettiest among them :)
Oh, Beth is awesome! Loved this! There's hope for this, I believe... :D
Goose bumb inducing!!
Love this song!!!!!
I really like Beth😊
Beths voice is really good :D
Beautifully sung! I love the song! :D
Favorite episode so far :)
Good job guys
Loved the song, I would really love to get it on mp3.
I'm really curious as to how they'll play out Beth's story...
I wouldn't worry too much about your voice, Beth ;-).
Beautiful song! :)
I'm enjoying this series now
As I've said before I have no idea where it's going which is a first for me with one of these
Usually I've read the book
The acting is still a little eh but the beginning was sort of adorable :) and she has a good voice except for a few high notes, I liked how she started looking at the camera more and more as the song went on. It was a nice touch.
Holy wow this is great!
The actress playing Beth has such a beautiful voice! I'll be so sad when she goes.
Some episodes are better than others, but I see this improving. I never thought in a modern adaptation Jo would dress like 90s grunge, even her makeup with that hideous dark lipstick a few episodes back.
I get the adding music since Beth is musical. She has a nice voice. Hopefully the songs won't be cheesy-sometimes-off-key like in the Emma series. I love singer songwriter stuff but those were painful.

Aw!
ah wasn't aware you guys were collaborating with kirstyn hippe :)
Beth has a great voice, and the song is beautiful...

However, I'm enjoying it, even if it doesn't feel as authentic as LBD or EA. There's still that distance and sense of disbelief that I just can't shake. They don't feel like real people
Beth is the only one who feels real to me. Even EA still felt weird, but LBD was great.
If you're looking for realistic adaptions, check out The Writing Majors and From Mansfield With Love. Both ongoing and both executed very well :) x
Carmilla is also very good.
My favourite episode, void of the cringeworthy dialogue and the absence of chemistry between actors... Maybe I will stick around.

starrydreamer I personally like the actor for Meg the best :)
i dont see it as much as you but i do have ti say that i lkied the other adaptations a lot better
