'Reservation Dogs' which will soon premiere on FX on Hulu seems to be a tongue-in-cheek homage to Quentin Tarantino's 'Reservoir Dogs'. The upcoming comedy series follows the lives of four Native American teenagers who live on a reservation in Oklahoma. The teenagers spend their days committing crimes and fighting crime as well. 

'Reservation Dogs' has been created by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo. If you're in the mood for comedy, some of FX's other comedies include 'Breeders' and 'Dave'.
