Regardless of location, background, race, or gender, there’s something all teenagers seem to have in common: they make hilariously dumb decisions with their friends. FX’s brilliant dramedy Reservation Dogs leaned into that idea while simultaneously dropping audiences into a setting that traditionally doesn’t get much screen time: a Native American reservation.

Created by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo, the three-season show followed the story of a group of teenagers living on a reservation in Oklahoma who deal with traditional teen tropes, from first loves to facing bullies, and with harder topics, like the death by suicide of one of their best friends. It’s funny and poignant, and was named one of the best television shows of the 21st century by The Hollywood Reporter.
“It’s not merely that Indigenous teen characters are a demographic rarely depicted on television, though they are; nor is it just that their plotlines here shrug off centuries of stereotypes about Native Americans, though they do. It’s the way these tales are told, with boundless curiosity and a freewheeling sense of experimentation,” said the ranking, placing the show at the number six spot.

When Reservation Dogs premiered in 2001, it got rave reviews, with the AV Club saying it had “style to spare,” and praise by Time for its “authentic portrayal of one version of the modern Indigenous experience” and for “centering Native voices both behind and in front of the cameras.”
The critical darling went on to receive perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes scores for its second and third seasons, but despite that, it flew under the radar for wider audiences, with CBR calling it a “masterful yet overlooked” TV show. “Simultaneously intimate and expansive, Reservation Dogs crystallizes the humor and hardships of growing up in a world where cultural roots still matter, even if they’re disappearing,” said the outlet.

TV Insider agreed, calling it “TV’s most underrated series” in 2023, declaring during the show’s final season that “it has yet to achieve its full popularity potential.”
All three seasons of Reservation Dogs are streaming now on Hulu.
