Alan, I've always enjoyed your work and you remain my go to on any new series but I have to say that your championing of Reservation Dogs has been so wonderful. Obviously I agree with you that it's a great show. As you have noted, it is important on another level - that it has given a tremendous platform for Indigenous storytellers. And what a story they've told. The much welcomed whimsical nature only enhances how real and how powerful their story is. The four main characters are so incredibly real to me - I know people like that whether they be siblings, cousins or the amazing youth I worked with in a past job. The other people in the community/show are just as real. And for me, William Knifeman is kind of real too. Anyways, all of this to say thank you for spreading the word about this show. I hope to see more like it and more facea like mine, telling our stories.
