What a name for this series. Co created by Taika and Sterlin Harjo (Native American filmmaker).

Premise: "The series follows the lives of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma, as they spend their days committing crime, and fighting it."

Trailer:

Taika Waitti is a comedic genius, and I will watch anything that he produces.

I would imagine Taika is going to bring his perspective of New Zealand and Maori issues, which I would imagine have a lot of paralels with the US and Native Americans....and really any country and the natives that got destroyed.

I think that actor playing the cop was a cop in the show Banshee and somewhere else.

And did I see a brief cameo from Wes Studio?

He was also the badass Hanzee on the Fargo series.

Back on topic, that trailer is really interesting. A lot of directions they could go with the show, and a lot of it will probably depend on how good these young actors are.

From a friend with ties to the production...

"Did I tell you that FX insisted that Taika direct even though it's Sterlin's story, but he was on Thor and couldn't be there so they had a PA walk around set with Taika's head on an iPad trying to have him direct remotely haha

It's just because Sterlin had never directed a pilot before. But that lasted I think two days before the whole crew revolted and FX agreed to let Sterlin take the helm.

So dumb. Anyway, I've seen the pilot and it's dope, they have something special."

This is confusing. So they wanted to force taika in to the position but he was working on another project, all because the guy had not directed a pilot yet? I assume taika could collaborate in the development stages from afar but it doesn't make much sense to direct from afar. Did he get a director credit? Seems unfair to the actual director if he did.

If they have Taika directing their pilot it's a big deal, something they can really market, etc. And yes, it's rare that studios trust directors with a pilot who have never directed television before, unless they're big names like Taika. So FX tried to force it, but soon realized that was a bad idea.

Is this only available on Hulu or something? I've got YTTV and it's not pulling up at all even though I have FX.

Yeah, "FX on Hulu" exclusive. When Disney (who owns Hulu) bought Fox, for some reason they divided FX/FXX shows into two categories: shows that premiere on FX/FXX first, then are on "FX on Hulu" the next day, and shows that premiere *only* on "FX on Hulu," the latter of which is what this is. The former seem to be the more popular/sure-thing hits.

Thanks. That's a bummer as I'm not going to add another streaming service for just this show.

Staff,

What were the derails, and the ensuing complaints? I'd like to participate in the thread, but am unsure about parameters.

Thanks.

Caught the first episode and really enjoyed it.

First 3 episodes have been solid. Still feels like it's getting legs, but I'm interested to see where they take it assuming they get multiple seasons. The 4 teens are all great in their own way.

Any chance they expand this beyond Hulu if it's popular enough?

The ghost is just so great in his deliveries, the cop, too. In fact, all of the adult actors are great. Kids aren't bad either, but not expecting them to be on level with the older actors.

I was wondering how Taika has time to write, direct and act in so many things at once.
