Review of Dark Winds

Dark Winds (2022– )
8/10
Refreshingly Different

Ok, before I forget, this had a great soundtrack.

The drama reminded me of the Australian Mystery Road productions.

It had the same sort of premise, set within indigenous people's tribes, et al. This is et in New Mexico on a Navajo reservation.

Dark Winds is an American psychological thriller television series created by Graham Roland based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman. It premiered in June, 2022, with the first season consisting of six episodes. After its premiere, the series was renewed for a six-episode second season, which premiered in July 2023. In September 2023, the series was renewed for a third season.

The series follows two Navajo police officers, Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, in the 1970s Southwest. The first season is primarily based on Listening Woman (1978) and elements of People of Darkness (1980). The second season adapts People of Darkness.

If I am going to be critical there were too many shoot outs with too many bullets (thousands) missing any targets.

The second series featured two apparently indestructible men with a refence to another one who apparently walked away from the end of season one, despite being shot and blown up.

Also, wounds kept disappearing and then reappearing in later scenes.
