I watched the first two episodes. Slow build for sure but I feel like this will be a good one. The two little people on the bikes are hysterical.
The eye doctor in the NDN Clinic episode. I can’t think of his name right now but he was on Mad TV. He was on a podcast and told a story about him having sex with a 14 yr old girl in Mexico.

I feel like it’s got some Florida Project and some Atlanta mixed in. Can be depressing but the spirit of youth raises it up
I enjoy each episode but don't really see where they're heading overall. Character building has been great though and it may be more of a Better Call Saul slow build than I was anticipating
This seems like it's just a slice of life show. Not everything needs a plot driving the series. This is a lot like Letterkenny in that regard.
Ok. But I didnt compare it to Letterkenny in that way. I compared it to the slice of life type of show.
I guess maybe I am saying that as an in your face comedy like Letterkenny is, it seems to work more naturally. I don't think this show will work long-term if they can't connect the plot pieces or amp up the comedy. I have liked it, but there hasn't been a ton from my perspective to become a fanboy about yet, like I am with Letterkenny or What we do in the shadows. Both of those shows are very quotable and provide a ton of LOL comedy moments in every episode. RD is way more subtle so far. I do suspect that the plot will come together. (FYI, I haven't watched the latest episode). So far I find myself wanting to like this show more than liking it as much as I want.
I was curious about the Deer Woman character and got this from one of the reviews... https://www.vulture.com/article/reservation-dogs-recap-season-one-episode-5.html "Deer Woman is a figure who appears in stories told by a few different tribal nations. Generally, the story goes that a group of men camping at night are approached, in darkness, by a mysterious woman from across the fire pit. The woman will take the men out into the woods with the man convinced he’s going to do some snagging. Only, when they’ve reached a private, isolated spot, the man looks down at the woman’s legs (which were previously obscured by the light of the fire) to find that she has deer’s legs. Then she usually tramples the guy to death. Usually, the Deer Woman story functions as a kind of warning for men to stay on the straight and narrow, but here writer Sterlin Harjo has re-imagined Deer Woman (portrayed in the episode by Kahnawá:ke Mohawk actress Kaniehtiio Horn) into a badass vigilante who only goes after “bad men” who, as we find out, all tend to drive really nice cars. In flashback, young Big spots Deer Lady picking up her first victim (played by Hualapai actor Kiowa Gordon, who folks should also check out as the quasi-villain in Jeff Barnaby’s Indigenous zombie movie Blood Quantum) right here in Okern. Later, young Big is saved from danger (both fecal and physical) when Deer Lady shows up to stomp some dudes who are trying to rob the local corner store. Little Big’s stuck on the toilet while the holdup happens, and Deer Lady is even kind enough to spare him some TP. Go Deer Lady, go! Big’s final childhood encounter with Deer Lady occurs during his grandmother’s funeral. Deer Lady tells child Big that he needs to always remember that his grandmother is watching over him and to “be good, fight evil.” If he does all that and walks the line, he won’t ever end up on the receiving end of Deer Lady’s wrath. It’s a lesson in line with what was set up in the previous episode during that exchange between Rita and Elora – behind every good Native man is an even good-er and tougher (and scarier) Native lady. FACTS."
When I was little I was told not look at a woman's feet because it might be the the deer woman. When I got older I got told make sure you look at all the women's feet to make sure it's not the deer woman. I was told that if I was approached and offered to go off somewhere with a strange woman that I was to be polite and decline the invitation and not get caught trying to look at her feet.
Tall man was new to me and had to ask my sisters. They hadn't heard that in a long time and couldn't remember exactly what it was. Basically it's Bigfoot.
Well this episode is definitely starting to connect a lot of the pieces. I do like the way they pair an adult with a kid to help us learn about the characters. Interesting formula that is working each week. Definitely way more drama than comedy also, which I was not expecting and took me awhile to accept.
