Reservation Dogs

First off - I am an old white lady who bypassed this for a while until I saw a trailer and was intrigued. I cannot believe this isn't sitting along "Resident Alien" and "Better Call Saul" it is so well done and so beautifully off center. It also has several of my favorite native actors in it - both young and old(er).

The humor, at times, is so subtle, that you have to really watch what's happening. Also you have to see the quiet things in the background too. After a while, you will want to sit and just watch it - and see what this group is up to next.

It is not always funny. It's like everyone's day - mixed with different happenings and different feelings and emotions. The more I got to know the kids and the families and the characters in the town, the more at home I felt.

Am anxious for the next season!! THANK YOU FX for this incredible series!!

PS -Zahn McClarnon (Big) is absolutely brilliant in his subtle comedic timing. It's worth watching just to see him. And then there is SO MUCH MORE!!

Just wrapped up season 3, which does a lot of things well, but this most recent batch delivered one the best anti-ageist portrayals I've come across.

Behind the young-but-wise Willy Jack, a community is built that reaches past the graveyard, through prison bars, and even extends to us white devils.

That said there is still plenty of comedic relief (when I die, I hope my "spirit" can deliver some modicum of that). The clear love between the four quirky, strong, memorable young leads is just tremendous. That alone has been there from the very start and like such friendships in real life is built to endure. Brought a tear to my eye repeatedly, even when having me laughing out loud a few minutes later.

Plenty of other topics and time-shifting were expertly woven in as well. Thank you...

No spoilers, do yourself a favor and enjoy all three seasons. Watch 'em with Daniel's spirit by your side.

With a wild Taika-tinged swagger, Reservation Dogs arrived as a fully formed concept - giving audiences a sharp caricature of contemporary native culture with buckets of wit, personality and sincerity. The whole ensemble here are remarkable, and it feels tremendously fresh. In its breathless efforts to make up for centuries of little to no representation, Rez Dogs bursts right out the gate and pushes down character tangents which other shows would've only felt confident doing whole seasons in. This isn't 'other shows' though and the characters are easily strong enough to make the otherwise alienating diversions work. Over the course of these three short seasons I wept deeply, I laughed hugely and I learned absolute buckets. The cultural impact of it is already fairly apparently but here's hoping the shadow of Rez Dogs ends up long.

Native here, raised on the rez. I won't say this is 100% accurate because it's obviously a caricature in some ways, but they get so much right, especially the slang. I found it hilarious that the old warrior character truly represents Native humor in a way I've never really seen before in pop culture, just really fast, double barreled, and then suddenly drab. The sets are very close to real life. I watched these first two episodes thinking "I've been there," or "I've done that." Probably the best glimpse into rez life since Smoke Signals which is a huge tip of the cap.

I highly recommend this show. It is hilarious and touching at the same time. Character development is strong and the acting is great. Definitely worth your time to watch it. And then rewatch because it is so good!
