I finally got to the super popular TV series Dark Winds.

It’s excellent. Very intense. Somewhat complicated.

The first season is primarily based on the books Listening Woman (1978) and elements of People of Darkness (1980).

Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn 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. 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.

This show is on AMC and AMC+ — two services I’ve never used.

Somehow it was showing via our Cable TV service under “On Demand”. Some of that On Demand contents is FREE … at times.
