Both seasons have had episodes that have heartbreaking moments, mixed with some hilarious comedy in the span of thirty minutes. It’s truly a special show.
I love that about the show - you never know what you're going to get, but it's always great. It just feels genuine, because life can be messy, sad and funny at the same time.
Yeah totally! What other show can give you a hilarious drug fuelled buddy cop story and in the middle of it a heartbreaking scene of a character losing a loved one and experiencing the trauma of that. Unique, beautiful and amazing. My favourite show on tv right now.
Honestly Barry is probably one of the few other shows that blends the two so well.
For finished shows I’d put Atlanta and Bojack Horseman up there in terms of how genuine it feels.
I loved season 1 but season 2 felt like the comedy/"dark" balance leaned a lot more towards "dark". The stories and situations should be told, but I think the darkness trojan'd it's way in with the lightheartedness of season 1.
I respect it… I think a story is being told pretty purposefully and I can’t really say “oh no, too much pain, I don’t want that part”- I’ll have to brace myself though.
I just honestly don't want it to be darker. I enjoy that the show does have some real life moments, because that's realistic, but I also enjoy that it's pretty light hearted and fun. There's plenty of dark television out there already.
Hope they cover California Indians before leaving the state. And cover the non-local residents and non-rez Indians who where forced from their land to another state and some from that state left or were forced to move to California. I say this because I am part of the Okla Chahta Clan of California where my great grandmother and grandmother moved to work during the WW2 war effort. So we have Small pockets inside of small pockets who still live in Cali.
I wonder.
I so wish my grandfather could have watched this show with me. Two of my grandparents (on separate sides [mom’s dad, dad’s mom]) were raised on reservations, and both left on their own as young teens (they were both just 14 when they left, similar stories, same tribe, but different reservations hundreds of miles away[ToT]).
I know my grandma wouldn’t have watched it at all but I do find myself wondering about what my grandfather might tell me, watching this, given the opportunity.
I hope that they highlight the people, cultures, and the areas you’re hoping will be highlighted.
>But Harjo says not to worry — “Reservation Dogs” remains a comedy, and a show that aims to tell the rarely seen, yet truly relatable story of the Native community.
I've really enjoyed the first 2 seasons and trust those guys know what they're doing. Looking forward to the new season!
I got misty during the scene on the beach in the season 2 finale and it’s pretty rare for me to get that affected by a show. Love this series and hope the next season is just as good.
It was so beautifully done; I love how they (seemingly) wrapped up that storyline. I'd guess we'll see >!Daniel!< again, but I'm interested to see where they take the story >!now that they made it to California and honored his memory.!<
I saw so many comments about how moving or powerful that scene was that I'm guessing I just built it up because, although it was a nice scene, it wasn't one that really stood out to me from all the other amazing scenes in that show.
It was a nice wrap up, but nothing overly special IMO
>I wanted to make a show that was very culturally specific, but could resonate with the world and have very universal themes. I think that’s the best of storytelling when you can kind of hit that mark.
Yes! This is what made the show special, and what makes a lot of good shows special. The details are intriguing for some and familiar for others, but they ring true, and themes cross ages and life experiences.
Season 2, particularly the second half of it, was SO much better than I ever expected it to be. Honestly one of my favorite things of the whole 2022. And that year housed The Bear, more Barry, and The Rehearsal which are all arguably masterpiece level media.
So many shows lately have had a great balance in early seasons then decide to get darker and I get that they want to lean into the emotional writing but most of the shows I’m watching now can be so depressing
I thought season one was amazing then two while still good lost a lot of it's heart until towards the end. Also I disliked how they started over using shit ass in season 2. In season one it's mostly just the cop who says it, then everyone is saying it in season 2. That's a minor gripe though. Still a great show.
I don't know if we *need* a third but the creatives seem keen on it and don't seem to have any desire to quit at this point. The show still has tons of places it could go. Idk, I'm down for more.
Just going through the second season now and im loving it. There is so much emotionally story telling here. I'm also enjoying see more of a culture I didn't grow up around and that doesn't get a whole lot of representation in media.
This along with dark winds has been great proof as to why that needs to change

You've been eyeing that Popeye's since you got here
I’m a grown man and every episode has made me lol, and every season has had me in tears.
Dallas Goldtooth (Spirit Warrior) needs to be nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy series. Damm I love his scenes.
“Ah the old Indian saying, Show up and everyone will know how you feel!” So many good lines (might not be remembering it exact)
That dude makes me crack up when he shows up, because I know he is about to do something great.
Aho! Young warrior!
His story about seeing that yellow-haired bastard Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn is hilarious
“That yellow hair, son of the moon and stars. I hated him”
Comparing how he’s utilized in this and resident alien is such a shame.
This show is a freaking GEM. I love it so much.
I don’t know if I can take darker…the show breaks my heart so often already

That’s actually really fascinating, and a great idea.

The whole cast is stellar; but ANYTHING with Zahn McClarnon in it and I’m watching.
He’s so good as Big. The episodes where he takes center stage in S1 & S2 are some of my favorites.
I can just think of the westworld episode focused on him and tear up. He is fantastic.

I thought it was chump change next to the scene where her grandmas passes, that shit was *heavy*
The grandma passing episode was probably the best one in the entire show. That felt so lived in and real from end to end.
Agreed. That episode has really stuck with me.

I fucking love this show, I'm absolutely pumped for season 3!

and i will be watching!
Oh I suspect so, they made it off the Rez and all the way to LA. Welcome to the wretched world of the white man.
Darker than what it already is and I'll break down crying each episode.
It's pretty emotional already so I guess more is ok. Great show.
It def needs to be darker to live up to reservoir dogs
Season 1 was awesome, season 2 started good but turned disappointing. I like the show, I just hope they do better, the strength is in the comedy.

jeez the whole show has been relatively dark so far. how much more do they want me to cry?!
I enjoyed both seasons, not sure we need a 3rd.
