Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Reservation Dogs - Season Three/Series Finale

Reservation Dogs is a fan favourite on FX. Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi the three seasons have followed the lives of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma, as they spend their days committing crime and fighting it.

This third and final premiered back at the start of August. Concluding in Australia later last night on Binge. For some reason it is delayed in Australia. Whereas Stateside this airs on a Wednesday via Hulu.

It is the second (semi) long running show of mine (Physical on Wednesday) to have a curtain call this week.

However I feel Reservation Dogs went out on its own terms. Concluding while still on a high.

Having had 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 and 2022 by many critics. 

While the American Film Institute named it one of the ten best television programs of 2021 and 2022.

In the third season, the show explores the history of the elders in the community and how the events and choices of their youth led to their present day lives. Parallels are drawn between the Rez Dogs and the younger selves of the aunties, uncles and grandparents.

You can read a full recap of the show's finale ever episode HERE.

This was one of those comfort shows. A few laughs, some heartwarming moments, nothing too crazy. Nothing Taika Waititi Marvel level that is.

With Binge in Australia also wrapping up Fear the Walking Dead next month, no HBO series I watch on for a while, I may need to go through that Binge list. At least Shining Vale with Courtney Cox returns next month.

We also learned this week (speaking of HBO) True Detective Season 4 returns mid-January 2024. Apparently for 6 episodes only!!!

Enjoy the footy finals LOL
