Following the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious and faraway land of California. To succeed, they will have to save enough money, outmaneuver the methheads at the junkyard on the edge of town and survive a turf war against a much tougher rival gang. This first-of-its-kind creative team tells a story that resonates with them and their lived experiences -- and invites audiences into a surprisingly familiar and funny world.

Critics Consensus

Aimless afternoons yield absurd delights in Reservation Dogs, a low-key comedy that deftly captures the malaise of youth and Rez life thanks in no small part to its impressive central crew.

Every stop is a destination. Every nook and cranny of this teeming televisual world is its own ecosystem... Go to Full Review
Megan McCluskey TIME Magazine 06/02/2023
Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, the gritty, coming-of-age dramedy allows for an authentic portrayal of one version of the modern Indigenous experience by centering Native voices both behind and in front of the cameras. Go to Full Review
Kelly Lawler USA Today 12/29/2021
This lackadaisical but sharp comedy, about irreverent Indigenous teens living on a reservation (and trying desperately to get out) was a delightful surprise in its first season and its second should cement its status as one of the best comedies around. Go to Full Review
Vikram Murthi The Nation 11/29/2023
The series depicted contemporary Native life through an irreverent yet sensitive lens. Go to Full Review
Jennifer Bisset CNET 03/30/2023
Slamming down some mostly accurate Indigenous representation, especially when it comes to dialogue filled with local slang, Reservation Dogs is essential viewing. Go to Full Review
Jason Asenap Esquire Magazine 10/12/2022
Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo's comedy signifies a new movement for Indigenous artists to write, direct, and star in their own stories. Go to Full Review

Digging D @Diggingdoge Feb 13 Probably the most racist movie i have ever watched but i did find it enjoyable. See more Ray D. Nov 30 Fantastic show. I stumbled across it completely by accident and binged all 3 seasons. The unique mix of indigenous culture, teenage coming-of age stories, and surrealism completely hooked me. See more Vicki Z Oct 30 I just finished all three seasons and am blown away. This show is a masterpiece. Such pathos and character. Writing, directing, acting & casting are impeccable. More seasons!!! See more Esra Y Oct 21 A breathe of fresh air in today's all too polished and fake tv landscape. See more Kevin S Sep 25 I really love this show! Wish there was more. It is a comedy, but honestly more comedy drama, especially later on. See more Kazi Nakkhotro Z Jul 4 THE best comedy I have seen after Modern Family! See more Read all reviews
