Reservation Dogs

The second season just started and is out on Hulu now!

 TV show or Movie: TV show

Where to watch: Hulu/FXX

Premise: Following the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious and faraway land of California. To succeed, they will have to save enough money, outmaneuver the methheads at the junkyard on the edge of town and survive a turf war against a much tougher rival gang. This first-of-its-kind creative team tells a story that resonates with them and their lived experiences — and invites audiences into a surprisingly familiar and funny world.

Cast: Devery Jacobs, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Lane Factor, Paulina Alexis, Zach McClarnon, Kirk Fox, Matty Cardarople

What it reminds me of: Letterkenny, Stand By Me.

Why I like it: Taika Waititi co-created this show, so you know it’s going to be good. Although the title is similar to the 1992 Quentin Tarantino film, Reservoir Dogs, it doesn’t have the same feel at all. The show is about four best friends getting over a tragedy while also trying to stay entertained in their small hometown. I have been there before as have so many other people. The show is a comedy-drama, but definitely has more laughs than sad moments. The cast is great together, the characters in town, like Kenny Boy played by Kirk Fox, and the rapping twins played by LilMike (AKA Mike) and FunnyBone (AKA Bone) are hilarious and I always get excited when I see them on screen.
