I liked this show well enough to subscribe to AMC+ in order to watch the third season, but I have been a bit disappointed. The third season combines the storylines of two unrelated books in the series, books that were written thirty years apart. While there has always been an element of the supernatural in the series, dealing with the superstitions and legends of the Diné, but Episode Six of the third season consists almost entirely of a depiction of Lt Leaphorn having a psychotic episode related to dark memories of his childhood that are peripherally related to current events. The point could have been put across adequately without indulging in such a protracted excursion into the surreal.

Having just watched Geena Davis's other Renny Harlin-directed action movie, "Cutthroat Island" recently I can say two things with certainty: 1) Harlin likes big, splashy explosions even if they don't make sense, and 2) Geena Davis, underrated as an action star, deserved much better material than she was given to work with by her (then) husband Harlin.

Davis's comedic talents are well-suited to delivering the odd snarky moment of humor in this movie, and she fares well in the action scenes, and she and Samuel L. Jackson worked well together. This is a somewhat entertaining movie, in a Saturday-afternoon serial kind of way, but in general the writing is substandard, and the action sequences are overwrought and technically inaccurate.
