Why is every review for this show a 1 or a 10? Clearly this isn't "The Room" or "Breaking Bad". We watched the entire series and were entertained enough to keep going, but it definitely wasn't a show to look forward to, more so just "well there's nothing else on PLEX we haven't watched - wanna put on Res Dogs?".
Positives for me were the seemingly authentic view of the Gen Z Native American perspective, and some of the cameos like Bobby Lee & Bill Burr.
Negatives were mostly related to the writing - I wanted to like the main characters but I just didn't - I didn't dislike them either they're just not well written imo and quite one-dimensional. The plot was just kind of blah, as well. I thought this would be more about them trying to get money to get to Cali but I honestly forgot about that aspect until the final episode. It's really meandering and boring at times.
All that being said though I'd still give it about a 5/10 as an experience, bumped up to a 6/10 because it shows us a glimpse into a world we don't often see, true representation as opposed to Hollywood shoehorning "diverse" characters into the same old roles, and for that I do think this show deserves an extra point. You could do much worse, but with all the prestige TV coming back after COVID from Succession to Better Call Saul to White Lotus to Station Eleven to Dexter: New Blood (besides the horrendous final episode) and everything else I would put this lower on your to-watch list.
