- TriviaWith production booming in New Mexico, the Tesuque Pueblo reservation converted its 1950s-era gambling destination into Camel Rock Studios, booking AMC's 'Dark Winds' as its first high-profile project.
- GoofsThe Buffalo Society use of a painting to move the money to Devoted Dan doesn't make any sense. Doing so opened them to the possibility that the painting could be lost, as it was when the Mormon family bought it. It also ran the risk that the shopkeeper, or someone else, would notice them coming in repeatedly to buy the painting, that someone at the car dealership would notice someone repeatedly handing over the painting, and require them to pay the painter hush money. They could have just brought the cash openly and directly to Devoted Dan.
- Quotes
Sheriff Gordo Sena: Last few years... life's gotten cheap. The monsters ain't just in the shadows. They're in broad damn daylight. Country's got the devil in it, Joe, and no one is calling him to account, which you know... more than most.

The characters are quite appealing - I credit the fine acting for that - consequently you get invested in the show very quickly. The show doesn't pull any punches when it comes to showing the overt and systematic racism faced by Native Americans in the 1970's (not to suggest it's strictly a thing of the past), but so far it's not falling into the trap of portraying the native people as 'noble savages,' either.
This is simply good drama, and the fact that it's set on a Navajo reservation just enhances the drama rather than over-relying on it or using it as a shtick. I like this show and I think if you give it a try, you'll be hooked, too.
