We're all trailed by ghosts. The trick is figuring out how to coexist with them. "Reservation Dogs" has been digging into that idea since Bear (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai) met William Knife-Man (Dallas Goldtooth) in the pilot. William is an all-purpose visitor, showing up to advise Bear and other folks in his community out of a sense of cultural pride and obligation, but mostly because his version of the afterlife is boring.
He's not directly connected to Bear and his friends Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Cheese (Lane Factor) by blood, friendship, or local member, giving him more of a license to prod and annoy. Throughout the recently ended second season, however, the four friends and the folks around them confront and are confronted by the spirits of some of their nearest and most dearly departed loved ones.
