Reservation Dogs
Grief looks like stealing a chip truck and planning a road trip to California. The Rez Dogs get it 🐕
Who it's for
The series begins a year after Daniel's suicide, so it focuses on the long middle of grief: anger, avoidance, drifting apart and misplaced blame, rather than the acute crisis.
