Sterlin Harjo & Taika Waititi’s dramedy, Reservation Dogs, set on a reservation in Oklahoma captured the hearts and minds of so many and shone a much needed and very human light on modern day life “on the res”, especially during those teen years. With plenty of acclaim and awards that came with the series’ first run, there is almost endless amounts of anticipation for season 2 following the journeys of Elora Danan, Bear, Willie Jack, Cheese, and all of their friends, families, and enemies.
The official trailer for season 2 of Reservation Dogs dropped yesterday and it seems to hit a sweet spot of grounded absurdity and pathos, maybe even more emphatically than season 1. Elora Danan continues her perhaps impossible quest for the promise land of California, Bear wrestles with adulthood having no manual, and there’s a much better indigenous version of a Zoltar-machine. Give it a watch and see for yourself here, then look for its premiere on FX/Hulu on Wed. Aug. 3rd.
