Dark Winds - US Pace - AMC+ (***Spoilers***)

Agent Coulson

Produced by George RR Martin and Robert Redford

The noir thriller, based on the iconic Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman

Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon, The Son, Westworld, Fargo) of the Tribal Police as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes. The closer he digs to the truth, the more he exposes the wounds of his past. He is joined on this journey by his new deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon, The Red Road, Roswell, New Mexico). Chee, too, has old scores to settle from his youth on the reservation. Together, the two men battle the forces of evil, each other and their own personal demons on the path to salvation.

Interesting read and some big names behind bringing it to the screen

Agent Coulson

A really solid opening two episodes that sets up the season mystery and the clash of cultures living on a reservation

Anytime there's an Indian in it I know the face

Seems to be the same half dozen with all the roles

I'm a sucker for anything native American and this is right up my alley. Zahn McClarnon is a hugely underrated actor. His performance in the film Mekko is terrifying and outstanding.

Agent Coulson

Well that was a wholly enjoyable season from start to finish.

watched the first episode of the second series, straight into the story now without the need to build characters so its a faster pace

Agent Coulson

Cracking opening episode to open the season with and a banger of a soundtrack.

i watched it by mistake, too much of a spoiler tbh

Agent Coulson

The monster turned out to be an Irish farmer

That made me smile in this weeks episode.

Agent Coulson

Season 2 had a few faults however nothing major for me.

It is just a great series and hopefully gets a 3rd season.

Quite enjoyed season 1; slow-burn, but with interesting indigenous angle to set it apart from the rest, so good to see the standard is more or less maintained. Looking forward to seeing how season 2 changes it up.

Tabnabs

Fantastic to see Zahn McClarnon in this role and then the opposite style of tribal policeman in the outstanding Reservation Dogs that's also airing currently.

Enjoyed both seasons of this.

Great cast

is this just depressing?

Well, it's not a comedy, that's for sure. It's a sombre drama, with an indigenous take on things.

If you like the indigenous aspect, but from a more light-hearted angle, you could try Reservation Dogs:

Maybe not the third and final season of Rez dogs? Not a great deal of comedy there, but unmissable all the same.

It's excellent, well worth watching. Quality didn't drop for S2.
