Martin Scorsese’s new movie Killers of the Flower Moon is getting serious Oscar buzz — but Reservation Dogs star Devery Jacobs is not a fan.
The Native actress spelled out her criticisms of the film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, in a lengthy thread on social media on Monday. The film centers on a series of murders among the Osage tribe in Oklahoma in the 1920s, and Jacobs called it “painful, grueling, unrelenting and unnecessarily graphic… Imagine the worst atrocities committed against [your] ancestors, then having to sit [through] a movie explicitly filled [with] them, [with] the only respite being 30 [minute] long...

When writer and director Sterlin Harjo was 5 years old, his mother lost a baby. “He was only alive for a few hours,” Harjo recalls. “I think at 5, when you know you lost a sibling, it’s very confusing. You don’t know how to process that.”
The loss of his brother is something that’s never left him.
“I remember, through the grief and everything, going to school and a Ta asked me how I was doing. It was really the first time I’d been asked that, because I didn’t know the kid,” Harjo tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It was just heavy loss that I felt. I didn’t know then; I’d never experienced that. I know that’s permeated and has been a part of my art and storytelling since.”

Just 28 short episodes in, the groundbreaking Reservation Dogs came to an end with a final installment that focused on the importance of community and learning from one’s elders. Although it wasn’t always his plan to wrap things up so soon, creator Sterlin Harjo says it “just made sense” to end it with Wednesday’s episode titled “Dig,” which saw the res preparing for the funeral of their late uncle/cousin/brother Old Man Fixico.
“Your individualism and your teachings come from the community and that’s what helps mold you into the person that you are, so I wanted to focus on that,...

This article contains spoilers for Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 10.
With the premiere of its final episode, FX’s Reservation Dogs has officially been sent off that good way. The season 3 finale, titled “Dig,” is filled with indelible moments that neatly wrap up three superb seasons and prepare the titular Rez Dogs for a glorious future to come.
Amid all that excitement, however, is one little in-joke that the less attentive viewer may have missed. As the town of Okern, Oklahoma gathers in the local church to pay their respects to departed Old Man Fixico (Richard Ray Whitman), several well-wishers assemble around the medicine man’s casket. One of those mourners is local constable/lighthorseman Big (Zahn McClarnon).
“Thank you for changing my life, brother,” a tearful Big says to Fixico before placing a hardcover book in his coffin.

Many television shows try to be about community. Hell, one series tried so hard that it violated Seo best practices to just go ahead and name itself Community. I would wager, however, that no TV program ever has better understood the concept of community, nor articulated what it means more effectively than FX’s Reservation Dogs.
The series, which just finished its three-season run on Hulu, began as a simple comedy following four Indigenous teens in their small reservation town of Okern, Oklahoma. Just as those teens – Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) – grew to realize that their world was much bigger than pilfered potato chips and petty rivalries, so too did Reservation Dogs grow.
Throughout its richly-realized third season, Reservation Dogs has carefully and empathetically communicated how little the youth sometimes realize that they need their elders.

Spoiler Alert: This column contains spoilers from “Dig,” the series finale of FX’s “Reservation Dogs,” now streaming on Hulu.
Death has always loomed over “Reservation Dogs,” the coming-of-age comedy that concludes its run on FX this week. When the show began, its teenage protagonists were still actively mourning their friend Daniel (Dalton Cramer), who died by suicide a year prior. Over three seasons, the show emphasized its namesake foursome were not alone in their grief. Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs) doesn’t remember much about her late mother, but her mother’s friends do; when Elora’s grandmother Mabel (Geraldine Keams) passes away, her final hours bring the entire small, Native town of Okern, Oklahoma into their home. Some of the series’ most memorable characters, like warrior William Knifeman (Dallas Goldtooth), are themselves no longer living — they’re spirits who return to counsel those left behind.

‘Reservation Dogs’ Series Finale: Sterlin Harjo On Saying Goodbye With Love, Legacy & “Fekke Hvmken”
Spoiler Alert: This article contains detains of the Reservation Dogs series finale “Dig,” which dropped late last night on Hulu.
“I’m leaving,” Elora (Devery Jacobs) tells Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai) in the Reservation Dogs series finale as they sit before the coffin of Old Man Fixico (Richard Ray Whitman). “It’s awesome … I’m proud of you,” Bear replies after a pause, giving his best friend his support. “I mean, of course, I’m going to miss you,” he adds, as the duo tell each other with tears how much they truly love each other after all they have been through over the show’s three seasons.

Reservation Dogs Series Finale Recap: The Gang Says Goodbye, as Elora Breaks Some Tough News to Bear
In the words of William Shakespeare, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” While our beloved Rez Dogs are each heading off to bright futures either at the res or outside it, Reservation Dogs’ final farewell is a bittersweet one. Not because the ending is unsatisfying, but because we’re forced to say goodbye to this crew far too soon.
In the final episode, the entire res gathers together for Old Man Fixico’s funeral. After Willie Jack visits Hokti in prison for some sage advice on grieving, the women of the res begin cooking a huge meal for after the proceedings.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Reservation Dogs Season 3, Episode 10, “Dig.”] Reservation Dogs may only feature 28 episodes, but its impact will far exceed its runtime. This is especially true after delivering a delightfully satisfying conclusion to a flawless three-season run with the moving finale installment, “Dig.” The episode co-written and directed by series creator Sterlin Harjo follows the Reservation Dogs, Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Elora (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Cheese (Lane Factor) as they join their community to bid Old Man Fixico (Richard Way Whitman) farewell. The celebration of life pulls together the aunties, elders, and fan favorites on the fringes (like Kirk Fox’s Kenny Boy) of Okern for a fantastic ensemble episode that places each of the core four characters on their destined paths. Willie Jack kicks off the episode with a visit to her aunt Hokti (Lily Gladstone) who viewers will remember from Season 2’s powerful entry, “Offerings.” Telling Hokti about...

My favorite scene in “Dig,” the series finale of FX’s Hulu series Reservation Dogs, finds Devery Jacobs’ Elora joining D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai’s Bear sitting by Old Man Fixico’s casket.
Bear is meditating on nothing less than the impermanence of life, which is also what Elora wants to discuss. Specifically, she has to tell Bear that she’s exiting their hometown, departing Okern and going to college. She knows, though, that Bear’s mother (Sarah Podemski’s Rita) has recently told him she’s taking a job in Oklahoma City. Everybody is leaving Bear, and Elora worries about how her friend will take the news.
The emotion is bursting out of Elora. She wants to explain, to apologize, to justify. Bear asks her to pause. She looks at him with concern. He looks down. Pondering. She’s wondering if Bear’s about to break down. We’re wondering if...

“Reservation Dogs” ended its three-season run on Wednesday with a funeral — but also with a lot of joy. In bringing almost all of the show’s characters into one place for one final gathering, co-creator Sterlin Harjo said his goal was to show how “Reservation Dogs” was much bigger than just the kids at its heart.
“It’s not just for kids on the rez,” Harjo told Variety. “It is their whole community. And we see that by going back into the past with some of the elders. We see that by learning more about the other characters. I wanted to illustrate that in the finale, which is all of them coming together for a goodbye to one of their own.”
As the episode draws to a close, the town celebrates as they pay tribute to the passing of Fixico (Richard Ray Whitman).

After three incredible seasons, FX’s Reservation Dogs was scheduled to have its series finale drop on Wednesday Sept. 27. Hulu originals, like Reservation Dogs, typically drop new episodes at 12 a.m. Et on their release date, and there was no indication from the streaming service that this episode would be any different. However, subscribers that logged in this morning hoping to watch the series’ sendoff were surprised to find that the last episode is nowhere to be found.
For some, Hulu is showing episode 9 of season 3 as the series finale. Others see the title of episode 10 come up with the wrong episode art and no way to watch the episode. Regardless, there doesn’t seem to be much consistency with this error other than the fact that no one is currently able to watch season 3 episode 10 on Hulu.

In Reservation Dogs season 3, Elora Postoak (Devery Jacobs) receives some stunning news: she has a father.
Of course, Elora always understood she had a dad but just assumed he died like her mother did. No one disabused her of that notion until season 3 episode 1 when Teenie (Tamara Podemski) told Elora that not only is her dad alive … he’s a white guy. An episode 4 medical file confirms that his name is Rick Miller.
With this reveal, Reservation Dogs implicitly promised that Elora’s father would appear in one of the show’s six remaining episodes. And when he did turn up, he would likely be played by a familiar face. After all, the series has built up quite the fanbase among performers with comedic heavy hitters like Megan Mullally, Bill Burr, and Marc Maron popping by for guest appearances. Surely, one...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Reservation Dogs Season 3, Episode 9, “Elora’s Dad.”] Reservation Dogs has never shied away from welcoming a famous face to the show’s talented ensemble, and in the show’s penultimate episode, “Elora’s Dad,” the biggest surprise guest star yet was unveiled as Elora’s (Devery Jacobs) estranged father Rick Miller, played by Ethan Hawke. Introducing the mystery at the beginning of Season 3, Elora discovered her father was alive during a conversation with her aunt Teenie (Tamara Podemski). After believing he was dead all these years, she was presented with an opportunity to seek him out, even taking note of his name on her birth certificate, but it was her college application process that ultimately led her to minorly stalk him as she weighed the pros and cons of connecting with him. Clocking the close-following car, Rick pulls into a gas station to confront his stalker, only to realize it...

Times are changing for the Reservation Dogs in an exclusive first look at the show’s penultimate episode, “Elora’s Dad,” as Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs who also wrote this episode) works on enrolling in college courses. In the sneak peek clip, above, the process is anything but smooth as Elora hits some roadblocks when it comes to financial assistance. “There are no more scholarships available. Looks like they took ’em all up,” the counselor (John Parker) helping Elora says bluntly, before adding, “I mean, that’s just what happens when you’re an older student.” “I’m not older,” Elora counters defensively in the segment, above. “Yeah,” the counselor responds, “but it’s better to come here right after high school. I mean, there’s still financial aid available.” When they acknowledge that Elora’s mother is dead, they note, “We’ll just need your father’s financial information.

FX has released its first look at the final season of “Reservation Dogs.” Season 3’s trailer may mark the end of an era for Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s dry comedy, but based on the video, this last season also marks the start of something new for its central characters.
Since its premiere in 2021, “Reservation Dogs” has always been about the liminal space between childhood and adulthood. The series started with Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai) forgoing his friends’ plan to ditch the reservation after his persistent Spirit (Dallas Goldtooth) persuaded him to improve his home rather than abandon it. This first trailer hints that the ending of that personal growth is right around the corner.
“The path to healing is often found in opportunities to help others,” Spirit cryptically tells Bear.
Last season ended with these friends stranded in California. Season 3 will pick up as they figure out a way back home.

The Rez Dogs are heading back home for their final hurrah. FX has released the official trailer for the third and final season of “Reservation Dogs,” the acclaimed FX on Hulu dramedy series.
Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, with Harjo serving as the series showrunner, “Reservation Dogs” focuses on four teenagers — Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) — who were born and raised in a small Indigenous reservation in Oklahoma. The first two seasons of the show focused on the group’s quest to raise money to travel to California, a long-time dream of their dead friend, Daniel (Dalton Cramer). The Season 2 finale saw the crew finally succeed in their goal, making it to the beaches of Los Angeles and saying an emotional goodbye to Daniel.
Their move proves to be temporary, however, as the trailer for Season 3 opens with the foursome traveling back home.

Besides playing the character of Elora Danan Postoak, who leaves the reservation to fulfill her gang leader’s dream of living in California, Jacobs also joined the writers’ room this year. “It’s monumental. It’s everything,” the actress admitted in our webchat. “Without writers, we have no stories, we have no film, we have no television. I just am grateful to be one of the indigenous storytellers in this industry.”

It’s everything,” the actress admitted in our webchat. “Without writers, we have no stories, we have no film, we have no television. I just am grateful to be one of the indigenous storytellers in this industry.”

It looks like the much-hyped Willow series on Disney Plus will not be getting a second season. The news came down today via Deadline that the eight-episode series will not be returning, which maybe shouldn’t count as a massive surprise given the recent focus from Lucasfilm on Star Wars shows. Willow was always a more niche title, and while critics mostly liked the show (our own critic Alex Maidy adored it), the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes was a mediocre 66%. Indeed, the show never really captured the zeitgeist in the way a series like The Mandalorian did, although fans hoped perhaps it would build up some cult status over time.
Of course, just because Willow won’t be returning for a second season doesn’t mean the saga is over, as it’s possible Disney could go back to the drawing board and revisit the property in some way.
