"Reservation Dogs" was never shy about wandering. Describing other TV shows thusly implies a lack of narrative discipline or confused intent, but that's not the case here. Series creator Sterlin Harjo and his writers have always conveyed a sense of knowing where Bear (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) and Cheese (Lane Factor) are headed in their shared and individual quests while expanding their stories along the way.
The show began with the quartet vowing to leave their small community in Okern, Oklahoma for a fresh start in California without really knowing what that would take or what they'd find when they got there. Ostensibly their reason was to honor the last wishes of their friend Daniel, who took his own life before the series began.
