Reservation Dogs

Follows the lives of Indigenous youth from an unspecified tribe. Created by a mostly Indigenous cast and crew based on their own experiences, the series tells genuine Indigenous stories that avoid generalizations or stereotypes. The show does things like including -- but not overexplaining -- words, phrases, and jokes that may not immediately make sense to non-Indigenous audiences, hopefully encouraging them to learn more about this culture. At the same time, the show provides a comfortable space for Indigenous viewers to enjoy such references.

A character is beaten up by a small group. While nothing gory or extended is shown, there are situations suggesting that the group should learn how to fight should they get attacked again.

A character wakes up in the bed of someone she went on a date with the night before.

Language is constant, with many uses of the words "f--k" and "s--t."

Conscious of racist stereotype of substance abuse by Native Americans, the show addresses the topic by depicting adults drinking, sometimes excessively, as well as using marijuana in a way that clearly warns against the risk and dangers of substance use -- e.g., an instance of teenagers stealing marijuana from a neighbor; they face negative consequences.
