Every writer, director, and regular on the series is Indigenous making it a “first-of-its-kind creative team tells a story that resonates with them and their lived experiences.” The young series has received acclaim and praise from both audiences and critics with it currently sitting at a 100% Fresh Rating onRotten Tomatoesas well as earning the Universal Acclaim title on Metacritic. With all of this success for the project, it would seem to be a no-brainer that FX would bring the series back, something that fans can definitely agree with. With the first season still in progress, fans will have to keep an even sharper eye open to see things that might lead into the next season since we now know the eighth episode won’t be the end.
