Dark Winds

I really hate when they change the character's origin stories or write the women to he badasses before that happens in the stories. It's disrespectful to the original work. I can hear Tony Hillerman rolling in his grave.

If you're not a big fan of the books or you don't mind bad adaptations, it's a good show. I'm on episode three and am fighting the super fan in me. I've read the books over and over so the massive changes are making me nuts. But I'm determined to get over it.

A bank is robbed and a double murder is committed of a Listening Woman/healer and her granddaughter. Are they related somehow? There are a lot of plot threads to follow and I'm not sure where they're all going yet.

I just finished the first season of Dark Winds and have to say it was so much better than I expected it to be. I'm not it's one of my favorite shows, not even close, but it's definitely worth watching. It does start a little slow, I don't mind a slow burner but even I almost gave up early but stayed with it and it just got better and better with each episode to the point I binged all six episodes of the first season in a weekend. Six episodes was perfect for a show like this, it could possibly go to eight but I like six. The writing and acting is what makes this show so good. It looks like most people who stuck with it really enjoyed it and the people who didn't gave up after the first episode. Stick with it, you won't be disappointed. It did well enough to be picked up for another season so I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Can't wait for the next episode. This brings back So much, as I lived on the Navajo Reservation (near Shiprock) in a log cabin during the same time frame. I turned 21 there, & it was another world entirely. This show is really bring int all back. And McClarnon - so good It better be continuing on into another _. LONGER-season !

Now that it is done - I restate, very emphatically - it had BETTER have a 2cnd, LONGER season.

This show is as good as advertised. I've never heard of the books so I had no expectations going in so I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I like this. Zahn McClarnon has been good in just about everything he's ever been in but he's finally given a chance to be a lead and he excels at it. I could actually see him getting nominated for an Emmy for his work here, he's that good. Kiowa Gordon is an unknown actor who also does an excellent job and should have plenty of opportunities and a bright career after this. The rest of the cast (Noah Emmerich, Rainn Wilson, Jessica Matten, A Martinez, Jenna Elfman, etc) all hold their own here too. There are not many shows built around Native Americans so I'm glad this one didn't flame out and disappoint.

So I have AMC+ and have seen the first 2 episodes and it just gets better and better. It's part mystery, thriller, dark humor, and drama- a bit of everything with wonderful acting. I absolutely love Zach McClarnon in everything I've seen him in, the series Fargo, Reservation Dogs, Westword, can't recall what else, but the guy has range and I can't wait for him to have an Academy type role, he is due.

Noah Emmerich from the Americans plays a self-important FBI agent, Rainn Wilson plays a used car salesman and another sleezy part in the story I'm sure, lol. Every character is interesting.

This 6 part series is executive produced by George RR Martin and Robert Redford, so you know it's gonna be a great story. I can't wait to see where it goes!
