‘Reservation Dogs’ Deserved More Emmy Love Throughout Its Run — Now, This Is the TV Academy’s Last Chance to Recognize It


In his Awards Circuit column, Michael Schneider urges TV Academy voters to show 'Reservation Dogs' some attention in its final season.

“ Reservation Dogs ” ended its three-season run back in September, so we’ve had time to accept the sad truth that we won’t be seeing any new stories about this group of Indigenous teens in Oklahoma anytime soon. I would have truly enjoyed another season, and when I get on a Zoom call with series star Paulina Alexis — who played the outspoken Willie Jack — it’s clear she’s also still a bit disappointed that the show has wrapped. Alexis says she hears from many fans who call “Reservation Dogs” their “comfort show.” But the series, from Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, was actually much more than that: It was a bit of an emotional antidote to these trying times.
