Created by a Native American, Sterlin Harjo, written by him and other NA writers, it is the story of four teenagers on a reservation in eastern Oklahoma. It is hilarious, offbeat, poignant and more representative of native peoples than anyting I've seen. The young people are great, but there are some familiar faces such as Gary Farmer Jr. and Wes Studi. Can't recommend it enough. It is showing on FX but runs first on Hulu.

I will also tout Somebody Somewhere on HBO. It is focused on the lives of "outcasts" in Manhattan Ks. including Manhattan native Bridget Everett, who is as talented as anybody on television when it comes to comedy and singing, and her co-star Jeff Hiller is not far behind. He is gay as are several characters, along with a trans character, but they are organic to the town and storylines, not stock characters. Just lviing their life in a small Kansas town. It's a dramady, with some family issues and sadness but it's just beautiful in the way it cares about the characters and the easygoing way the stories are told.

I just love both those shows.
