DIRECTORS: Sterlin Harjo, Taika Waititi

CAST: Elva Guerra, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Paulina Alexis, Lane Factor


🎞️ Four Native American teenagers create a gang to get money and go to California.

🎬 Series created and directed by Taika Waititi, famous for movies like JoJo Rabbit, What We Do in the Shadows or Thor: Ragnarok, and his friend Sterlin Harjo.

📃 If you know Waititi's particular humor, you won't be surprised by the script of this crazy youth comedy. Its easy laugh humor mixed with a social message and with its typical touches of absurd comedy make each chapter fly by, with a well-carried rhythm. It also includes constant popular references to The Lord of the Rings, Godzilla or the Reservoir Dogs of the title itself. The locations are atypical of other types of comedy series because the protagonists live on an Indian reservation in eastern Oklahoma. Features of the region, food, locations or music are constantly seen.

🎭 The main actors are little known but they have surprised me with their good performances, they get into the role and believe what they do. Also highlight other more secondary but with more experience such as Zahn MacClarnon or Wes Studi, known among others for The Last of the Mohicans.

🎶 Taika Waititi is an expert in choosing good music for his projects and this is not going to be a separate case. It mixes various pre-existing tracks such as I Wanna Be Your Dog by The Stooges or Pop Pop by Lil Mike and Funny bone (who make curious appearances in almost every episode) with the soundtrack by Mato, a composer involved in the integration of American musicians/ natives.

🍿 Hilarious comedy that you can see on Disney + and that has already been renewed for a second season. The good performances of the cast, a daring script and in the purest Waititi style will make you enjoy the eight chapters it has.
