Spring Season 2 Ender - Reservation Dogs

The little show that does, Reservation Dogs has just finished its second run. Ahead of being renewed for a third season late last month.

Created by Sterlin Harjo + Taika Waititi, it airs stateside in the USA on FX, while in Australia it streams on Binge.

The second season premiered on early August, running for an easy binge of ten episodes. Slightly more than the first season of eight episodes.

The series has received widespread critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including a Peabody Award, two Independent Spirit Awards, and nominations for the Critics' Choice Television Awards and Golden Globes, and was named one of the best series of 2021 by many critics. 


The second season sees the Rez Dogs still experiencing grief over the loss of their friend, Daniel.

The foursome being broken apart and scattered, and missing each other. The "California dream" does not turn out the way they expected, resulting in more feelings of disappointment and abandonment. While they cope using humor, they also face increasingly more adult challenges. Financial and family responsibilities arise as they continue to try to figure out their lives.

The season features a number of almost standalone episodes all combined into one wild ride of a second season.

Reservation Dogs may not be everyone's cup of tea, however it has some soft tender moments, mixed with quality comedy.

As the US TV season ramps up, another series calls it a day for a while. Looking at the release schedule of the last two seasons, it looks like FX will bring this back to our screens again next August. FX has just released the return date for American Horror Story returning this month, with Atlanta also returning super quick for its fourth and final run.

Until next time, you may hear a little more about Cobra Kai's fifth season. Until then, happy long weekend and school holidays NSW!
