A Great Start...., 1 December 2002
9/10
Author: Chuck (etdweasel@yahoo.com) from United States

....to, maybe, a series of adaptations of Hillerman's books? PBS, Robert Redford, Tony Hillerman and company has done a decent job here. I would have thought that, given the material, they could have given us at least two full hours (maybe three?) to flesh out the story a little but, hey, I'm not complaining here. The casting was superb. I was thrilled to see Sheila Tousey as Emma Leaphorn. Tousey, who played Maggie Eagle Bear in 1992's "Thunderheart," is probably one of the least appreciated actors working today. Wes Studi plays Joe Leaphorn a little close to the chest, but the casting of him playing opposite Adam Beach was brilliant. Alex Rice is the perfect Janet Pete. I would think, also, that this quintessentially American series would be something that PBS would be able to sell back to the Brits. Let's all deluge our local PBS stations with demands for more ...perhaps with a pledge to show we're serious?
