RESERVATION DOGS
I am reminding you to plop onto your couch at your earliest convenience to watch RESERVATION DOGS (trailer here). The series comes from the minds of Stelrin Harjo and Taika Waititi. It’s a comedy following four teens as they navigate life in a small Oklahoma town. We open with them stealing a chip truck (yes you read that right) and performing small (definitely criminal) acts to save money and escape rural life, desperate to create an exciting future for themselves. Criminal activity aside, honestly, who can’t relate to that? Along with their antics, there are beautiful moments of heart and friendship, especially when they honor their friend who passed the year prior. But even more importantly, this show is a coming-of-age story created by and starring Indigenous folks. And as a bonus, there are so many cinematic references, just like the title, in the series. So please, in honor of the show, go s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ borrow a friend's Hulu password and tune in!
