‘Reservation Dogs’ Review: Season 2 of Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s FX/Hulu Comedy Is a Triumph

Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi

boasts a palpable sense of place and economic class, a nuanced approach to an underserved culture and a nimble ability to shift from silly to profound.episodes sent to critics. It would have been easy for Harjo and company to give the second season a full, or at least partial, reset, but the legacy of Daniel’s suicide and the emotional scars it left on his friends isn’t one that could or should be glibly healed. The desire to honor the tragedy and its collective ripples keeps Daniel’s memory at the forefront here, along with so many details from the first season, going all the way back to the delivery truck heist in the pilot.

Dallas Goldtooth’s Spirit, the ghost warrior offering very flimsy counsel to Bear in the first season, has an even larger role now, in part because Bear’s crisis of identity is only growing and in part because Spirit has taken on a new client in Farmer’s Uncle Brownie, who has decided that he may be a holy man. The series and all of its characters mock the idea of Spirit’s teachings, while at the same time celebrating traditions, rituals and lessons passed through generations.

Really enjoyed season 1 glad it’s back!
