The second season of the popular teenage drama Reservation Dogs returns to Hulu on August 3, 2022. The show centers on four Native American teens growing up in rural Oklahoma navigating their way through systemic oppression through humor. The co-creator of the show, Sterlin Harjo told Indiewire,

“We find humor even in some of the darkest times or circumstances. It’s about being able to laugh. And I think that was key to survival. And I just think that it’s ingrained.”

The first season of the show bagged awards like Best New Scripted Series and Best Ensemble Cast at the Independent Film Spirit Awards. It also won accolades from the Gotham Awards, Peabody Awards, and AFI TV honors.

The show, co-created by the Oscar-winning Taika Watiti, will air two episodes back-to-back on August 3, and will only air on Hulu. The rest of the episodes will be released weekly.

Rarely comes a moment when we see friendships like Andy and Red's from The Shawshank Redemption (1994) on screen. When two friends walk shoulder-to-shoulder, braving everything that life throws at them. But life is not a bed of roses and sometimes the true act of friendship is taking the other person's pain away.

On the Count of Three is a dark comedy about two friends, Val (Jerrod Charmichael) and Kevin (Christopher Abbott), suffering from mental health issues. It takes off the rosy tint of life and talks about men's mental health in a manner that is as real as it can get. The film can be triggering for some, so viewer discretion is advised.

The movie is stand-up comedian and actor Jerrod Charmichael's directorial debut and was well-received at the Sundance Film Festival 2021. This one's to friendship, watch On the Count of Three only on Hulu on August 17, 2022.
