The fourth episode of the new season of Reservation Dogs would seem extraordinary, if only it weren’t for all the other incredible episodes of Reservation Dogs . The FX comedy (which streams exclusively on Hulu) follows a quartet of Native teens — would-be group leader Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), actual group leader Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), the taciturn Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and the agreeable Cheese (Lane Factor) — hanging around their reservation in rural Oklahoma while dreaming of escaping to a more glamorous life in California. The first season of the series, created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, was one of the very best TV shows of last year — as distinct in tone and style as it is in its focus on indigenous characters in a medium that has so rarely shown interest in them. The series simultaneously feels small and enormous. The kids’ grand plans never amount to much, yet there is a palpable sense that their worlds are at stake with each tiny … [Read more...] about ‘The Thing Westerns Always Got Wrong Was Our Humor’: Sterlin Harjo on the Return of ‘Reservation Dogs’

“A long time ago, it is said,” an unseen voice says, “a monster came here.” The year is 1719; neither Arnold Schwarzenegger nor Jesse “The Body” Ventura will be so much as a glimmer in anyone’s eyes for centuries. The place is the Northern Great Plains of what will one day be called the United States of America. For the Comanche Nation, this is home: the forests where they hunt, the streams where they fish, the ground where they find roots for medicine. It’s where Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young woman, wants to prove she’s as good as — if not better than — her male peers who go out into the wilderness with bows and arrows, the tribe’s next-gen warriors armed with weapons and purpose. It’s also a place that attracts invaders, notably French trappers who’ve been killing the local buffalo and leaving those iron bear-traps the Comanche have seen strewn around. And it’s where, one day, a visitor comes crashing out of the sky. No one sees him, not at first — you don’t see the thing … [Read more...] about ‘Prey’ Gives the ‘Predator’ Franchise Its Long-Awaited Masterpiece

Fans can’t get enough of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows , which is airing its fourth season, and apparently neither can the critics. The show is nominated for seven Emmy Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series. Emmy-nommed writers Sarah Naftalis and Stefani Robinson (the latter also an executive producer) chalk up the show’s popularity to something very simple: It’s hilarious. Contenders TV: The Nominees — Deadline’s Complete Coverage “From a writing standpoint, for us, I think as much as the show is an escape for others, it’s also an escape for us,” Robinson said during Deadline’s Contenders Television: The Nominees panel. “I think it’s a real opportunity for us to turn off and not be so handcuffed to making a show that is about what’s going on in the world.” Added Naftalis: “This is a show where it’s truly whatever the funniest, stupidest jokes are, will make it into the final show. I think that it makes it a truly enjoyable half-hour. We have a … [Read more...] about How ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ Creates Its Vampire Magic – Contenders TV: The Nominees
