Reservation Dogs is an American comedy series created and written by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi. It premiered on August 9, 2021, on FX on Hulu and concluded on its own terms with a third season finale on September 27, 2023.The series follows four Muscogee teenagers (nicknamed the Reservation Dogs or Rez Dogs) in rural Oklahoma: Bear Smallhill (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), Elora Danan Postoak (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis). The four of them get into trouble as they commit crimes to get enough money to move to California, but when a rival gang moves into the area, Bear decides that he's had enough and they should fight to protect their land.Other characters include Officer Big (Zahn McClarnon), the police officer investigating the crimes that the Rez Dogs have been committing; Rita (Sarah Podemski), Bear's mother; Mose and Mekko (Lil Mike and Funny Bone), two local rappers who are friends with the gang; the junkyard-owning meth heads Kenny Boy (Kirk Fox) and Ansel (Matty Cardarople) who buy the gang's stolen goods; Elora's pothead uncle Brownie (Gary Farmer), and Bear's spirit guide William Knifeman (Dallas Goldtooth).The show is notable for the sheer number of Natives working in front of and behind the cameras. The directors, writers, and most of the cast and crew are Native, while Taika Waititi is himself part Māori.

comment
Noble Savage: Parodied by William Knifeman, Bear's spirit guide, who says he was at the Battle of Little Big Horn, but is quick to point out that he never saw battle and died when his horse tripped on a gopher hole. MissM8tri@rch's view of Native American history. She views their ancestors as peaceful proto-hippies who spent all their time eating berries and making love.

Drunk Driver: A drunken motorcycle ride killed Elora's mom and her boyfriend. Big hasn't forgiven himself for not being able to stop them. Maximus drives his friends home while still tripping on acid because he's comparatively sober. He somehow manages to avoid crashing despite not being fully with it or awake, then a UFO appears and he stops the car to greet The Greys.

Cool Old Guy: While in the jail visitation waiting room, Willie Jack ends up in conversation with an old white man there to see his daughter. He explains his dislike of incarceration as a concept, discusses his recreational drug usage, and offers her friendly life advice. In the finale, it's revealed that he's passed on and begun a courtship with Hokti's Spirit Advisor Gram.

Ambiguous Situation: The circumstances surrounding Daniel's death. He seems to have been dealing with mental or emotional issues the night before he hangs himself, resulting in his manic behavior at the honky-tonk Elora took him to. Hints about his home life point toward mental health problems. It's unclear if the guy who picked up Jackie and Elora was trying to kidnap them or if he really was just trying to go to a gas station off the road.

Parents as People
 Reservation Dogs / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: The older characters are as developed as the younger ones and often get their own flashback episodes. Willie Jack's dad, Leon, apologizes to Willie Jack if he seems different to her over the past year. It is implied that not only the Reservation Dogs were deeply affected by Daniel's passing, but a few of the adults in their lives as well, based on his dialogue with his daughter. Daniel's parents, Danny and Hokti, both get episodes focusing on them. Danny is a roofer who becomes Bear's coworker and the two discuss Daniel together. Hokti is in prison for unknown reasons and has a spirit guide of her own. Rita, Bev, Teenie, and Natalie have episodes focusing on them, the strain on their relationship, and their grief over Cookie's (Elora's mother) death.

Crapsack World: The Reservation. The homes and streets are rundown, teens run amok committing petty crimes, the only tribal cop is a moron, and the only clinic is staffed by apathetic jerks. The Dogs blame the rez itself, almost like a Genius Loci, for their friend Daniel's death.

Black Comedy: Hokti's Spirit Advisor remarks that she smiled more walking the Trail of Tears, a genocidal trek, than Hokti does presently. Bear suggests to Elora having a father-child relationship like he does with his dad. While this might sound positive devoid of context, Bear's dad is a Glorified Sperm Donor.

Chekhov's Gag: "White Jesus" pops up a couple times as a Running Gag about the Middle Eastern figure's Divine Race Lift in Western depictions, only for the Rez Dogs to encounter a homeless white man dressed as and acting like Jesus who leads them to Skid Row after their car is stolen in L.A. They readily refer to him as "White Jesus" and all but Elora are quick to follow him. By the time they leave his care, they all appreciate him.

Traumatic Haircut: The first thing the children are subjected to at the residential school is their long braids being lopped off. Truth in Television, as haircuts were reserved for significant situations like mourning, so the residential schools' policy of forcibly cutting hair was just one of many ways they removed children from their cultural practices.

Actor Allusion: Coach Bobson tells Kenny Boy that he could be a standup comedian. Both Bobson (Bill Burr) and Kenny (Kirk Fox) are stand-up comics. Nathan Apodaca, whose first-ever acting role is as Uncle Charley, gets two allusions in "Roofing" to the viral 2020 TikTok in which he filmed himself skateboarding down a highway while lipsynching to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and drinking a bottle of Ocean Spray cranberry juice. Charley wants cranberry juice with lunch, then later dances for a presumed TikTok video that Marc Don films. Amber Midthunder's character does a land acknowledgment for Native American tribes. But she keeps going further back to include Neanderthals, dinosaurs, and the "Star People".

comment
Black Speech: In a flashback to an Indian residential school, the abusive English-speaking nuns and teachers have their words dubbed with meaningless gibberish. This shows the boarding school experience from the point of view of Native children who do not speak English. Their tone is always very harsh, which serves to make them sound guttural and quite menacing, even monstrous, appropriately enough.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Reservation Dogs / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Uncle Brownie has a reputation for being a ruffian, claiming to have once knocked out 20 people during a Bar Brawl (it was actually 30). When he returns to the bar where that fight took place, the bartender and the patrons are initially not happy to see him again. Bear's ancestor William Knifeman was AT the Battle of Little Big Horn, but he's not one of the famous warriors, and thanks to an unfortunate horse-accident, he died in the middle of the first charge. Bear eventually feels guilty about hijacking the chip truck and causing the driver to lose his job, and decides to buy it back. The chop shop they sold it to haven't been sitting around waiting for him to discover his conscience, and have long since stripped the truck down to its frame.

Bittersweet Ending: Season One ends with Elora leaving for California with Jackie because the other Rez Dogs changed their minds about leaving, and she parts on a sour note with them, but Bear most of all. Bear reaffirms his love for Willie Jack and Cheese, and he seems willing to stay and see that the rez changes for the better.

Magical Native American
 Reservation Dogs / int_4755314a
comment
Magical Native American: Note that the majority of the cast are indigenous, so the trope is played with extensively. Parodied with William Knifeman. He's a spirit guide, that much is true, but the advice he gives isn't wise so much as self-evident, his off-kilter nature often leads him on unnecessary tangents, he dislikes the spirit realm because he's always cold and hungry, and he enters and exits scenes in truly undignified ways (his horse laying down and refusing to budge; being seen pissing behind a dumpster, etc). Subverted with Fixico, the old medicine man who hangs out in front of the clinic offering traditional Native medicine. When Wille Jack asks if he has anything for Elora's stomachache, Fixico briefly checks his wares before telling her no, forcing Elora to go to the clinic. Uncle Brownie has strong medicine, utilizing it to redirect a tornado in the first season finale. Some characters can see and interact with spirits. It's in the blood for Rita and Bear.

Bookends: Season 2's double-episode opener and its season finale both resolve unaddressed resentment with a prayer at a body of water. The first is given by Bucky and Brownie on the rez and settles their long-held grudge about Brownie sleeping with Bucky's girl. The second is from Cheese, whose prayer to Daniel at the Pacific Ocean addresses all the negative feelings he'd bottled up about Daniel leaving everyone. The first and last episodes begin with a voiceover of the local radio DJ as the camera pans around the land.

Dr. Kang, a Korean-American doctor at IHS, develops this. He's proud to be given a "native name" at the IHS conference, not knowing it meant "ass." Kenny Boy the white junkyard owner is obsessed with all indigenous cultures, regularly referring to peoples and languages that are completely unrelated to the reservation he lives on. Somewhat subverted. While Kenny seems like an Innocent Bigot, he's revealed to be a staunch defender of Muscogee land rights who's under the Deer Lady's protection. But he appears to think himself native...

Super Doc
 Reservation Dogs / int_77e144a2
comment
Super Doc: Deconstructed. Dr. Kang is introduced as someone who works with eyes, but he then later goes to treat Elora's stomach pain and Bear's injured nose in the same episode. This is lampshaded by Bear who is confused at an ophthalmologist showing up to diagnose his issue. Given the perpetually-full waiting room, the apathy of the secretaries, and the fact that the clinic is clearly not top-of-the-line, this is implied to be the result of a Critical Staffing Shortage. Dr. Kang himself is exhausted.

Hated Hometown: Deconstructed. While the Reservation Dogs seemed determined to earn or steal enough money to escape the rez for California, Elora seems to be the only one whose heart is truly in it. Everyone else professes to hate the place, but are conflicted about maybe staying to make it a better place instead. Willie Jack's dad points out that most Natives who leave the reservation out of hate end up returning because they understand it better than the outside world.

Ominous Owl: Owls are considered a bad omen in many Native cultures, so they're treated as such when appearing in any form. In episode 3, the kids react with shock and horror to a fake owl, and try to avoid looking at it. The fake owl's eyes are even censored by pixelation. In the season two premiere, while having dinner, Elora notices a potholder with an owl embroidered on it; she quietly flips it over to the other side. The giant owl statue used by the Order of the Midstreamers has its eyes pixelated.

Boarding School of Horrors: "Deer Lady" in Season 3 shows Native children forced into a residential school during the early 20th century away from their families. They are forbidden to speak their language while there (even when none speak English), forced to do manual labor, harshly punished for breaking any rules (to the point some are killed) and hunted down if any run away. Sadly, it's all Truth in Television.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: The Tall Man, who Leon thinks he sees in the early morning of episode 6. He couldn't get a good look at it, but could see it was human-shaped and very hairy. Willie Jack thinks it was Daniel's spirit saying good-bye to Leon. In real life, there are folktales about hairy human-like creatures all over North America with different tribes from Canada to Mexico referencing some kind of human-sized creature that can be a monster like the Wendigo to a harmless forest spirit. Big swears he saw four Bigfoot when he was young, having snuck into the woods to read Playboy magazines. Cheese finds his assertion dubious. The Stinger of the episode cuts to two Bigfoot Nature Tinkling.

comment
A Day in the Limelight: The show loves swapping focuses, starting midway through the first season. "Come And Get Your Love" focuses on Officer Big and his unusual backstory with the Deer Lady. He gets focus again in the eighth episode of Season 2, alongside Kenny Boy. Episodes 5, 6, 7 are dedicated to Cheese, Willie Jack, and Elora each spending a day bonding with an adult mentor. Cheese with Officer Big, Willie Jack with her father, and Elora with Coach Bobson. In the third episode of Season 2, Bear bonds with Daniel's dad, Danny. Again in the third season, Episode 2 focuses on Bear and new character Maximus, 6 focuses on Cheese, 8 has some focus on Willie Jack, and 9 focuses on Elora. The fifth episode of Season 2 focuses on the aunties as they go to the IHS conference. The third episode of Season 3 delves into the Deer Lady's past. The fifth episode of Season 3 flashes back to the grandparents' generation in high school. The seventh episode of Season 3 focuses on Rita.

Black Magic: Uncle Brownie wants no part of the curse Willie Jack wants him to lay on the NDN Mafia, citing that bad medicine is not to be messed with. She had acquired a baggie of Jackie's hair from Auntie B for that express purpose. Season 2 reveals she got one of the white men at the bar to perform a curse with the hair clippings.

Cutting Back to Reality: When Maximus looks out his window, he sees a group of grey-clad star people striding toward him.

Cheese presses down a dilapidated hallway in combat gear, slaughtering High-Pressure Blood zombies with a blade and delivering snappy one-liners. It's then revealed that he's playing a VR zombie game in his bedroom.

comment
All for Nothing: In the beginning of the first episode, the gang steals a truck filled with spicy chips and sells it to Kenny Boy (although they get to keep the chips). However, when Bear finds out that the truck driver lost his job because of the theft and his wife left him because he lost his job, he decides to return the money and give the truck back. After an argument with Elora, they finally decide to do it and go to Kenny Boy... who reveals that they already dismantled the entire truck except for the frame. Kenny Boy laughingly tells them they can have the frame if they want. Bear gets his hopes up trying to see his dad after two years, to the point of buying him pricey gifts, despite everyone telling him his dad NEVER visits him. Unfortunately, they're right.

Take That!: A nun who teaches at a Native boarding school where Native children were forced to go to learn English and convert to Christianity is named in the credits as Sister Stitt, likely as a dig at Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt for his ongoing conflict with tribal governments in eastern Oklahoma. "Go Washington Foreskins" is seen among the graffiti in William Knifeman's porta-potty. This takes a jab at Washington DC's NFL team, which until 2020 was called the Washington Redskins (a racial slur). Bev begs the Creator for the opportunity to move anywhere that's outside Okern. Kansas City, DC, or even Texas. Rita calls her out on that last one, and Bev admits she wouldn't move there.

But he appears to think himself native...

Heritage Disconnect: "City Indians" such as Jackie, Augusto Firekeeper, and MissM8tri@rch have trouble fitting in on the reservation. The latter two come off as overcompensating with their activism, and MissM8tri@rch also seems embarrassed to admit that she comes from the Bay Area. Amber Midthunder, who played her, noted in an interview too that her outfit is a mishmash from different tribes' traditional clothing, subtly indicating that she's not actually too familiar with their traditions.

Shout-Out
 Reservation Dogs / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The name of the show is a shout-out to Reservoir Dogs and, at the end of the first episode, the Rez Dogs have dressed in nice suits and do a slow walk just like the film. Bear also has the film poster in his room. Elora Danan is named after a character from Willow. Pointing this out tends to prompt other characters to share behind-the-scenes trivia about the film with her totally unsolicited. Another Willow shout-out: Kenny Boy's business is named "Burglecutt Salvage." When the Reservation Dogs get shot with paintballs, Bear's "death" is shown like Sgt. Elias's in Platoon. When Bear goes to Willie's aunt to buy a bead medallion for his dad, she shows him one in a box that casts a golden light when you open it like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. Though this time we actually get to see what's inside. It's just a pickle. Leon, Willie Jack's father, makes a joke about hunting "Cardassians" in LA, though he's referring to the Kardashians. Cheese's improvised prayer mentions a galaxy far, far away. Big names his car Redbone One after the all-Indian band and frequently listens to "Come and Get Your Love" while working. The episode ends with actual video of the band performing the song. On his first day as a roofer, Bear is sent on a Snipe Hunt for a fake tool that supposedly stretches something. Leon calls Bear and Jackie "Zoolander and Tinker-hell." Mose and Mekko's parting words at Fixico's casket are "see you at the crossroads," a reference to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's biggest hit "Tha Crossroads" (which is, fittingly, a Grief Song).

In a show where spirits exist, it might be real, though Maximus was high on acid at the time.

Everybody Cries: Once Big pours his heart out to the camping group and breaks down in dramatic sobs, Brownie and Bucky are moved into confronting their own grief and join him. Cheese admits that his sharing circle idea was more effective than expected.

Toilet Humor: The spirit talks to Bear about grief and hardship while seated in the adjacent porta-potty, nonchalantly taking a dump while doing so. Brownie has Cheese listen quietly to ambient nature at the lake, only to rip one loudly.

Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Bear ignorantly assumes that the home Dr. Kang wishes to return to is China. It's actually San Diego, and Dr. Kang is Korean. To illustrate the ignorance of the question, Dr. Kang asks Bear if he is Navajo or Inuit, of which he is neither (as he's Muscogee).

It's hinted in the finale that they're together when Jackie helps Bear and Rita pack for Rita's move to OKC.

Fantasy Sequence: After consuming strong edibles, the aunties hit the dancefloor. The scene cuts to them in coordinated green-sequined outfits, dancing their childhood choreography to Brandy's "Sittin' Up in My Room" as background dancers join in and the crowds cheer them on. They're then revealed to be awkwardly shuffling around a near-empty dance floor, looking half-dead.

Homage Shot
 Reservation Dogs / int_efa2d938
comment
Homage Shot: The shot in "California Dreamin'" where Elora finds Daniel's dead, hanging body is a nod to a EP Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit. In both shots the dead body is only identified by their shoes. The shot where Bear is "killed" by the NDN Mafia's paintball guns is based on Sergeant Elias' death in Platoon. When the Rez Dogs open a case containing a fancy beaded medallion, it glows in their faces similar to Pulp Fiction. After their memorial for Daniel, there's a Team Power Walk shot of the Rez Dogs wearing black suits, a reference to Reservoir Dogs, the inspiration for the show's title. Multiple shots in "This Is Where the Plot Thickens" reference scenes from Zahn McClarnon's role in Fargo.

Trying to show how open-minded he is, the doctor admits his house is built on Native land his grandfather bought cheap. Then to show he's not racist he says his best friend is Lakota and he's always been into Native women. Rita exits immediately.

Intoxication Ensues: Several instances. Downplayed. The aunties eat edibles at the IHS conference, thinking they're only 10 mg. Only after do they learn that Teenie lied: the edibles were actually 25 mg. The women end up on the dancefloor swaying like zombies after the weed hits. Happens again when Big drinks a soda that unbeknownst to him was dosed with LSD and ayahuasca. He spends most of the episode tripping.

Brick Joke: In one episode, Bucky makes copper wire sculptures, one of which appears to have two penises. Big accidentally gets high a season later and sees a giant version walking through a field. Season 2 has a running gag of characters saying "'Sup, white Jesus" whenever they see a statue or painting of him. White Jesus actually appears in the finale. MissM8tri@rch does a land acknowledgement for the ancient "Star People" in season 2. In season 3, Bear meets a man who believes in the Star People and is preparing for their return.
