Brenna and Joe travel to Oklahoma to discuss the first season (eight episodes) of Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi's Reservation Dogs. The show follows a quartet of teens with dreams of leaving their reservation behind and it's a great blend of comedy and drama, with some surprising pathos in the back half (C/W: suicide in episode seven).
We praise the show for its representation in front of and behind the camera (though there is a glaring omission), as well as how it handles the (lack of) white characters. Plus: Zach McClarnon finally gets to cut loose, pickle dicks and why we may need to check out Rutherford Falls.
