Reservation Dogs: The GENIUS of Authentic Voices
On this episode of In The Cut Podcast, we break down the incredible pilot of Reservation Dogs with TV writer Sebastián Rea. We dive deep and explore how the show creator, Sterlin Harjo, utilizes authentic dialogue and a perfect blend of comedy and emotional grief to craft one of the most important series in modern television.
We track the journey of Bear, Elora, Willie Jack, and Cheese as they try to scrape together enough money to get to California, analyzing the scenes that make this show so powerful. Sebastián also shares his career journey, from humble beginning as an assistant to Jennifer Lopez, to being accepted into the NBCU Launch writers program.
